"PEACE, BREAK THEE OFF; LOOK, WHERE IT COMES
AGAIN !"
By Milton J. Ferguson, Librarian, California State Library.
It will be recalled that prior to the
convening of the Legislature of 1919 the-
Governor appointed a Committee on
Economy and Efficiency which in several
sections considered ways and means of
consolidating, reorganizing and economiz-
ing the state household. One of these
subcommittees numbering some twenty-
two persons interested in education — by
which term I mean schools — and one
librarian held a meeting in San Francisco
late in 191S, for the purpose of consider-
ing a new arrangement of the school sys-
tem. The program presented had been
drafted by educators,' that is, teachers and
those interested in formal school instruc-
tion. The one library member of the
committee was willing enough to be gov-
erned by the schoolman view of things
relating to schools ; but protested when
the proposal was made to make radical
changes in the organization of our library,
system — changes- which had been consid-
ered and adopted by the forces of formal
education without so much as asking the
opinion, or wishes of the library member
of the committee or of his professional
associates. Certain pertinent outstand-
ing facts regarding library service in Cali-
fornia would also lead the casual observer
to suspect that the framers of the new
plan were not altogether familiar with
what had been accomplished in the Golden
State in the domain of informal instruc-
tion— the libraries. For while the pro-
fessional library world acknowledged Cali-
fornia's eminence or even preeminence in
the giving of library service, the proposi-
tion of reorganization was modeled upon
the work of states which in this line were
less advanced. The outcome of the hear-
ing as regards libraries is, of course,
familiar to all interested persons : the sub-
committee by a vote of two short of una-
nimity said leave well enough alone.
Then came the forty-third session of the
Legislature of California, in the course
of which Senate Concurrent Resolution
No. 21 was adopted, "relative to a legis-
lative investigation of the problem of
meeting the needs of and furnishing sup-
port for the schools and educational insti-
tutions of the state." This resolution
recognized the increasing cost and the in-
creasing attendance of the school system,
and the policy of the state to encourage
the development of educational facilities
of the highest order. A committee was
therefore authorized "to investigate * * *
the plan of education in this state and the
relations of schools, high schools, junior
colleges, normal schools, technical schools,
colleges and universities, and the cost of
education * * * and to make such recom-
mendations in connection therewith as
they deem of permanent benefit to the
state." The members of the committee
duly appointed by the presiding officers of
the two houses were Senator Herbert C.
Jones who became chairman, Senator Wil-
liam J. Carr and Senator M. B. Harris,
Assemblywoman Elizabeth Hughes, As-
semblyman Walter Eden and Assembly-
man N. J. Prendergast. The last named
member died before the committee report
was formulated. This document, a book-
let of 96 pages, was published in January,
1921, and has been fairly well distributed
throughout the state.
The committee met and organized in
Sacramento ; it held three meetings in
Berkeley, and one each in Los Angeles,
Fresno, Riverside and San Jose. The
report says that an "effort was made
* * * to secure the attendance of repre-
sentatives of taxpayers' associations, labor
unions, and laymen, as well as those
directly interested in public education."
Acknowledgment is made of the material
assistance, helpful cooperation and wise
counsel of the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Mr Will C. Wood.
Professor Ell wood P. Cubberley of Stan-
ford University took the findings and con-
clusions of the committee and drafted the
final report. The committee "familiarized
itself with the more important steps in
the evolution of the California state school
system" ; and studied "the more important
lines of recent educational evolution else-
where, with a view to utilizing in this
state the best educational experience and
practice worked out in other states."

NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Jan., 1921
With the foregoing statements as an
indication of the plan upon which the
committee worked, let us examine its
findings in regard to libraries ; for person-
ally I have a hesitancy in passing upon
school programs — a reluctance which
some school men evidently do not feel
when the library system is the topic of
discussion.
The report, in covering the school devel-
opment of California prior to 1913, and,
in summarizing what appear to be ten-
dencies, finds that, "In a few states the
state library has been conceived of as a
part of the state's educational service
and placed under the control of the State
Board of Education, and as a division of
the State Education Department, and the
county libraries have been placed under
the direction of the county boards of
education * * *. What is outlined above
is perhaps best found in the state educa-
tional organizations of New York, New
Jersey, and Indiana, though a number of
other states have recently conferred upon
their State Boards of Education somewhat
analogous powers." As evidence that
many educational agencies of the state
are at loose ends, that there is a lack of
good educational organization, it is set
forth that the State Library "does an
important educational work for adults,
including adult blind, but also is unre-
lated to the state educational offices."
After pointiDg out by sentence and
diagram the present unsystematic disor-
ganization of the educational offices and
forces, the report proceeds by sentence
and diagram to build up an educational
machine of high power, close correlation
and trim design. I have no quarrel with
the school plans set forth ; it is evident
without making an extended survey that
far reaching and systematic reorganiza-
tion should be put into practice ; and I
desire to quote here only the part relating
to libraries. A library division is pro-
vided for under the Department of Educa-
tion and the following comment is made.
"In some of our states, notably New
York, the state library has been classified
as a division of the State Department of
Education, and the county libraries in
other states have been closely connected
with the county educational administra-
tion. This seems to be the logical place
for such service, as it is essentially educa-
tional. The work of the State Library
in this state is so good that there is no
present need for such a reclassification,
but the Committee feels that the county
library work would be much better pro-
vided for if placed under the type of
county educational organization, described
in Chapter II, than under the boards of
supervisors as at present." Other por-
tions of the report by inference may be
considered as applying to libraries ; but
for our present purposes the above quota-
tions will suffice. Let us, therefore, pro-
ceed to examine these deductions in the
light both of calm reason and of library
accomplishments in California as com-
pared with "some of our states, notably
New York," etc.
It has long been the custom in countries
of Anglo-Saxon origin to invite in any
individual or corporation whose fate was
placed in judicial or official balance. In
this case, however, the libraries were not
named in the bill of indictment along
with "schools, high schools, junior col-
leges, normal schools, technical schools,
colleges and universities" ; nor were they
summoned to any of the hearings or even,
to the best of my belief, given notice of
the holding of such meetings. Conse-
quently it might reasonably be supposed
that the committee considered the library
outside the jurisdiction of its inquiry.
The subject was, nevertheless, passed upon
in the report if not in the hearings ; and
decision arrived at without benefit of the
information which presumably the state
librarian and the county librarians, if
given the opportunity, would gladly have
furnished. With these facts in mind it
would not ordinarily be unusual for the
appellate court upon application to grant
a rehearing, or, let us say, a hearing of
the case so far as it touches the library
as an instrument of popular education.
Again if the inquiry was to be extended
beyond the schools and colleges, specifi-
cally named in the resolution, to agencies
which are presumably educational in their
bearing upon the popular mind or imagin-
ation, why did the survey stop at the
library? If education really means the
"impartation or acquisition of knowl-
edge, skill or discipline of character,"
a means of furthering the "happiness,
efficiency and capacity for social service
of the educated," then the investigation
Vol. 16, no. 1]
PEACE, BREAK THEE OFF; ETC.
should have gone much beyond its delimi-
tations. There are the movies. Cer-
tainly no other present day agency, not
even the daily press, touches the lives and
feelings of greater numbers both of the
young and the old. The libraries of
England and America complain that the
gelatin strip is responsible for decreases
in circulation, particularly among their
juvenile clientele. And certainly there
is no protest on the part of the pupils
when the schools are closed to permit
their gathering in the halls of the silent
drama, and, incidentally, leaving their
contributions for the starving children of
war-sundered lands. It is also true that
throughout the nation great throngs of
vigorous young men come together very
frequently to witness that skill and dis-
cipline of character so necessary to a
continuous career in the squared ring.
But why continue examples of educative
agencies not considered by the Committee
on Education? It is evident that educa-
tion as used in the resolution really means
school system ; just as state board of
education would more clearly express the
thing intended if it were revised to read
state school board.
And while I am about it let me attempt
to indicate the boundaries of these two
institutions which are so often linked
together, yet which are dissimilar in their
aims, operations and methods — the school
and the library. For many centuries the
library was either an adjunct to institu-
tions of formal instruction, or the means
of information and recreation in the pri-
vate home. It has in recent decades, in
America especially, become an instrument
of public use, supported largely by public
funds, wide spread throughout the land ;
its doors open to young and old, its
resources at the call of everyone whether
his desire be for recreation, for informa-
tion, or even at times for a seat in a
quiet room secure from the cold and dis-
comforts of winter, or the glare and heat
of summer. No one is compelled to be a
regular attendant ; no courses are pre-
scribed ; individuals never grow beyond
library age as they do beyond school age.
It is in other words the one great institu-
tion of informal instruction and recrea-
tion, wherein each person is both teacher
and student, entertainer and entertained ;
wherein the whole past and much of the
present becomes the means, through the
printed page, of joy and culture, of tears
and laughter, of some high thinking and
of many noble resolutions. It touches
the life of the individual before school
age, it goes with him through that perilous
period, and when the valedictory is spoken
it has just settled down with him upon
a basis of knowledge and friendship which
increasingly endures and ripens through
all his years. Its control is exercised
through voluntary surrender of each indi-
vidual.
The school, and rightly so, is a means
of compulsory training which the state
considers necessary for the happiness of
its citizens and its own perpetuation and
preservation. Its courses are prescribed ;
its hours are fixed ; its instruction is
formal ; and its years are limited, beyond
which youth in the abstract may not
easily be persuaded. To many in their
teens, it is a prison wherein cruel and
unwarranted tortures are inflicted by
hard visaged gaolers ; where attendance
is insured by truant officers armed with
the majesty of the law ; and whose doors
are too often quitted with the hopeful
prayer that fire overnight may make re-
turn impossible. Schools nevertheless are
an absolute essential ; and success in that
business or professional world to which
youth so hopefully looks forward is doubly
assured him who takes his discipline like
a man, who meets the obstacles and hard-
ships of Latin and math with Caesarlike
courage and persists to the logical end.
But the library is not a school ; neither
is the school a library. They are not
interchangeable terms. The library is not
merely a handmaiden to the school. Both
have their work to do ; they are copart-
ners, in a sense, in a big undertaking for
certain parts of which each has its special
qualifications and its nonvicarious duties.
They are two distinct professions whose
boundaries often touch ; but to which
success and the opportunity to do work
well in the world will most readily come
through mutual recognition of abilities,
means, powers and responsibilities.
The Committee is impressed with the
organization of the educational depart-
ment of New York of which the State
Library is a division. This plan was
adopted in 1844 When the development of
the library profession was so much in
NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Jan., 1921
the future that it mattered very little
whether the library were placed under the
educational department, the state police
or the division of forestry. In 1852
California also looked to New York for a
school system. In the fifty-nine years
which have intervened, California has
moved forward along many lines, but
along none so far and so effectively as that
of library organization. Now it would
be possible for the west to repay the east,
in full measure, that debt of 1852, if it
were not true that the roots of an old
system strike so deeply they may not be
displaced even by a newer and a better.
From an intimate knowledge of the New
York plan, gained while I was a student
in the New York State Library, and from
the opinion of librarians who know and
have worked in both New York and Cali-
fornia, I assert without fear of contradic-
tion that the western ideas which obtain
with us are simpler, more effective, less
difficult of operation and more economical
than those not alone of New York, but
also of any other state in the Union.
From the beginning of time it has been
human nature to see great good in things
at a distance. Hence many persons in-
vest their money in rubber plantations in
South America, in gold mines in Alaska,
in bubble projects in the South Seas. So
axiomatic is this trait of human creatures
that the old saw about the honoring of
prophets is one of the most familiar in
our language ; and none is truer. It is
perhaps not unreasonable, therefore, for
a body of our own citizens unacquainted
with the great progress which California
has made in a library^ way to overlook
our own triumph, and to see beyond the
Sierras and the Rockies virtues which
are commendable, it is true, but easily
excelled by those here at home.
What has been the greatest handicap in
the influence of the library? The answer
is easy ; and may be expressed in a single
word : isolation. The school which would
reach effectively only the children in the
cities and larger towns would be held
almost worthless and certainly undemo-
cratic and unfair. Libraries until recent
years have been operated on that exact
plan. The county library idea which
means full and equal service to country-
man and to townman alike was officially
expressed one hundred and five years ago
in Indiana — expressed, mind you, and
then forgot. In California ten years ago
it had a rebirth and a rephrasing ; it is
not forgot, but has become a living instru-
ment for good and cheer and enlighten-
ment in this land of the western sun. In
California the library is no longer a
hermit ; it is one big family whose
strengths from Siskiyou to San Diego are
joined, like the three swordsmen of
France, one for all, all for one.
We have been cited the example of
New York, Indiana and New Jersey as
justification for a plan of reorganization
under which the library becomes a divi-
sion of the department of education.
There is, however, one other state which
the report never names but only mentions
in that all inclusive phrase "some of our
states," whose practice, if I mistake not,
is far more persuasive than all others
combined. In 1914 Professor Cubberley
published a book covering the educational
reorganization of the state of Osceola.
Seven years have passed since that volume
came from the press ; and the California
library plan, which even then had devel-
oped far enough to show the keen observer
some of its possibilities, has now become
a structure of very fine proportions, and
is meeting all requirements in a manner
quite unparalleled. The library recom-
mendations of the Legislative Committee
on Education made in the year 1921 re-
main essentially those of the mythical
state of Osceola in the year 1934.
For fifty-five years California has
appropriated money for the support of
school district libraries. Until the year
1911 those funds were expended by the
district authorities for books. I have in
times past inspected many of those collec-
tions ; and the more of them I saw the
greater grew my wonder that so many
independent bodies could operate along-
such identical lines : the books were at
least 90 per cent totally unfit for the use
of schools ; the money was wasted. With
the advent of the county library system a
new order became effective. The districts
were authorized separately and individ-
ually to join the county library which then
spends the school library funds. In-
stantly teachers 'found a new influence in
the lives of their pupils; books began to
mean something. Joining is voluntary on
the part of the school trustees, yet in less
Vol. 16, no. 1]
PEACE;, BREAK THEE OFF; ETC.
than ten years the demonstration has
been so convincing that 2000 districts are
receiving this service. Teachers are de-
lighted, pupils are stimulated, trustees are
satsified. Why does the school library
succeed noAV under professional library
management, when a few years ago it
failed under teacher or layman control?
The answer is clear : library work is a
profession requiring special training and
consistent application. It is too big a
job to be undertaken by teachers whose
hands and hearts and minds must always
be filled with their own exacting and hon-
orable task of teaching.
The schools were once managed on a
district plan which because of its isolation
and poverty was second in poorness only
to the old time library plan. The ten-
dency today is in the direction of consoli-
dation, unification, of enlarging the unit
and of improving equipment and teaching
force. No doubt the smaller system is
the concomitant of all pioneering endeavor.
As the years have gone by and factories
and wealth have increased, we have seen
this modern spirit of unification exempli-
fied in many lines of business and en-
deavor. Are the educational or the
school forces conscious of the fact that
one of the most forceful examples of
what they are trying to accomplish is to
be found in the inception and growth of
the county free library idea in the state
of California? If this progress had taken
place in New York, Indiana or Osceola
its precedent would without question be
supreme.
"The county library system, recently
created, is another unifying agency, as yet
but loosely connected with the schools,
but capable of a still closer connection,"
is the opinion expressed by the report.
But such a view must necessarily be taken
by those who are unable to see the far-
reaching influence of the library with
that part of the population having nothing
whatever to do with schools, and at times
even impatient of school interference out-
side school circles. A closer union would
in a way partake of that so earnestly de-
sired on the part of the lion with his
friend the lamb ; but the joining is going
to bring no permanent good to the one,
as it must certainly be decidedly uncom-
fortable for the other. On a comparative
basis, the efficiency of our library plan
and its development toward a reasonable
working unit are so in advance of the
school system that a disinterested logician
would with these facts in hand present
irrefutable argument for a reorganization
in which the schools would become a divi-
sion of the library department. In jus-
tice to a big majority of superintendents,
principals and teachers I must say that
dissatisfaction with the present coopera-
tive plan between school and library arises
not with them who daily see its virtues
but with a few reorganizers who are build-
ing new castles in the air.
The Committee would, because of its
good work, leave the State Library for
the present at least in its unclassified con-
dition. But can it not be clearly seen
that the good work of the State Library
is based upon an organization of which
it and the public libraries and the county
libraries are each and all essential work-
ing parts? Is it probable that the county
library, which is now under the control
of the county tax levying body upon which
popular pressure for support will equal
the satisfaction and the desires of the
citizens, would, in the language of the
report, "be better provided for if placed
under the county educational organiza-
tion"? My own convictions are that the
addition of a buffer board in this case
would have a great deadening influence on
the hammer blow of public demand just
as it has had in the case of public library
boards. Directness is a virtue in muni-
cipal affairs which should not lightly be
bartered. And I am not so sure that
school affairs, under proper safeguards,
would not profit by being placed squarely
in the hands of the people's representa-
tives, the supervisors — but that I grant
you is a new tale which I shall not ven-
ture here to recount.
The ghost of school control of the
library comes again ; so peace, I break
me off.
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Jan., 1921
CERTIFICATION— A SUGGESTION.
By Charles S. Greene, Chairman, Certification Committee, California Library
Association.
Some members of the California Li-
brary Association who attended the E-iv-
side conference and who remember that
a Certification Committee was appointed
there for the purpose of presenting a bill
to the Legislature may wonder that no
such>bill is being introduced at the present
session. The reason is that it has seemed
to the committee, and to many others who
have been consulted, that to offer a bill
at this time would simply be to court a
repetition of the former defeat. There has
not been enough time to enable members
of the California Library Association and
others interested to give the matter of
certification full and fair consideration.
No hope of success can be entertained
where this is not done. It has seemed,
further, that before a legalized certifi-
cating plan should be adopted it might be
well to test out the readiness of the
library public for such a system by a plan
of voluntary certificating under the
auspices of the California Library Asso-
ciation. These matters have been pre-
sented to the First, Second and Ninth
Districts at their recent meetings, and
these districts passed resolutions request-
ing the postponement of the introduction
of a bill, if the Executive Committee
should deem that course wise. The Chair-
man of the Certification Committee
accordingly explained the matter to the
Executive Committee at its session in San
Francisco on December 11, 1920, and that
committee authorized the postponement of
the introduction of the bill to another
legislature.
Pursuing, therefore, the alternative of
a voluntary certification plan, the follow-
ing has been suggested and is put forward
as a tentative scheme, to be thoroughly
discussed, amended, approved or con-
demned by the various district meetings
and finally passed on at the California
Library Association annual meeting. It
takes the form of a resolution :
RESOLVED, that the California Li-
brary Asociation hereby adopts the follow-
ing plan to establish a system of certifica-
tion of librarians and library assistants
based on proved merit :
1. A special Committee of five members
to be known as the Certification Commit-
tee shall be appointed by the President
from members of the California Library
Association engaged in library work and
not connected with any training school.
The first committee shall classify itself by
lot, so that one of them shall serve for
one year ; one, for two years ; one, for
three years ; one, for four years, and one,
for five years. After the first year there
shall be one appointed each year to serve
for the term of five years.
2. The powers and duties of the Certifi-
cation Committee shall be :
(1) To adopt rules for its own gov-
ernance.
(2) To establish grades of certificates
covering all professional library
work.
(3) To hold examinations, written,
oral, or both, at such places and
times as it shall determine.
» (4) To charge and collect the sum of
$1.00 for each entrant at an exam-
ination and a further sum of $1.00
for each certificate granted, said
sums to be used for the traveling
or other necessary expenses of the
examination, an itemized report,
with vouchers, of the same to be
sent to the Secretary of the Cali-
fornia Library Association after
each examination.
(5") To issue certificates, temporary or
regular, in such form and to give
such publicity to its acts as it may
determine to be best.
(6) To revoke for cause certificates
given, such revocation to be at once
reported to the President of the
California Library Association, to
be published or not as he may de-
termine.
Vol. 16, no. 1]
CERTIFICATION A SUGGESTION.
(7) To draw on the Treasurer of the
California Library Association for
such sums as may be necessary for
its work, not to exceed $200 in any
fiscal year.
(8) To make to the President of the
California Library Association a
full report of its doings for the
year, not less than thirty days be-
fore the annual meeting of the
Association.
The Committee is desirous of hearing
from any or all members of the Associa-
tion who have ideas on this subject. It
consists of Chas. S. Greene, Free Library,
Oakland, chairman, Winifred H. Bigley,
Merced County Free Library, Merced, and
Lauren W. Ripley, City Library, Sac-
ramento.
RESEARCHING WITHOUT THE RE.
By H. C. Peterson, Collector of Californiana, California State Library.
I shall always remember a statement
Dr Jordan made to us one morning at
Assembly, "The man who does true his-
torical research is the man who leaves off
the re.'' I never appreciated that state-
ment so thoroughly as I have during the
past few months, nor did I ever realize
the vast difference a little prefix could
make in a word.
Research work is delightful — a nice
cosy corner in the library, an easy chair,
a good light, a handsomely bound book,
beautifully illustrated, completely indexed,
and full of information. All you need is
a fountain pen, a little notepaper and you
become a research worker in histoi"y.
The next time you research in that cosy
corner take a few moments off and ask
yourself this question "Where did the
author get his facts, where did all the
photographs come from that make up the
illustrations, who gathered together all the
-manuscripts and documents from which
the author quotes?" When you get the
answer you will realize the significance of
Dr Jordan's statement.
The researcher enjoys his work in the
library, but the real joy, the fascinating,
wonderfully interesting part of the work
is that of the party who does the search-
ing, for to him come the adventures,
humorous, pathetic, often very trying, but
always intensely human. We see life in
all its aspects, good, bad and indifferent.
We see valueless things treasured as price-
less— sentiment reigns supreme under
many a wrinkled brow. We see priceless
historical mementoes made the sport of
rag pickers for the lack of a little senti-
ment behind a rouged face or a Charlie
! Chaplin mustache. Our eyes dim with
j tears as we see the one and our blood
boils with anger as we see the other, and
we regret that there is no open season, on
"an assault with intent to do great bodily
harm."
A man who likes to "stay put" has no
business in the searching department. A
true "retriever," which is the one word
that more truly covers the work than
any other, is one who is ready at a
minute's notice to leave on the next train,
knowing not how long he will be gone,
nor where the journey will end. Not long
ago I was sent out on a four days trip.
Five weeks later I returned to the library
and told Mr Ferguson that I had come
back 'for a few days to work up some of
the material already sent in. He said I
was mistaken, that I was going up north
the next day.
Three things furnish the zest to the
work of collecting. First, the uncertainty

And we never lack for variety. One

Sierras, the next week brushing off sand

Lots of travel? Yes, lots of it. As a
specimen illustration I'll give a chapter
from "Ten days Among the Feathers,"
literal translation.
I had just come down from Truckee

through to San Francisco. Stopped over

[Jan., 1921
to see Mr Ferguson, Miss Gillis and Miss
Garoutte about things historical. Was
just saying good bye when the wire
arrived "Send some one up at once. Car-
melita Duff." . Mr Ferguson pointed at
me and said "You're it." With a safety
razor as my only equipment I left for
Quincy. Two young ladies were looking
for the lone stranger that descended from
the only passenger car of the shortest
railroad in the United States. They in-
troduced themselves as Miss Duff, the
County Librarian, and her friend Miss Mc-
Evoy. We proceeded to get acquainted
as we walked along through the snow-
storm. Eventually we discovered that the
three of us had been living within a mile
of each other for nearly eighteen years,
which speaks volumes for the neighbor-
hood spirit of Palo Alto.
Miss Duff told me just what I was
there for. Six weeks before in La Porte,
thirty-five miles further on in the heart
of the Sierras, Charles W. Henclel, for
two generations United States Deputy
Mineral Surveyor, mine owner and county
surveyor, had died. He left no will, no
heirs. Charlie Hendel was one of those
men who never grew old, a man of charm,
amiability, and ability, loved and beloved
by every man, woman and child of
the mountains. Since 1853 the Sierras
had been his home. His health never
varied, it was always good. Glasses
he seldom wore. In the winter he
skied and snowshoed with the best
of them. To the children he was
"Uncle Charlie," to all others "Quick-
silver Charlie." So agile, so fearless, and
so speedy was he on the skis during those
famous skiing contests in the early days
at La Porte that they called him "Quick-
silver." But as the years passed, the
amalgam of Time and "Quicksilver"
reached the point of saturation. Movement
ceased — silently and without pain Uncle
Charlie passed beyond. The doctor's cer-
tificate said that ninety years had passed
since he nestled against his mother's
breast, but later information leads us to
believe it was between 97 and 100 years.
Such was the man whose papers I was
to secure for the state archives at Sac-
ramento.
Quincy is truly the Gem City of the
mountains. It contains one of the very
oldest hotels in the state, the most up-to-
date County Court House, and one of the
oldest jails. Miss Duff took me to the
Plumas House. That night the Odd Fel-
lows gave a dance in Quincy. The ball-
room was just beneath my room. They
danced all night, and how they did enjoy
it. I retired at '5 a.m. upon learning
that no stage would leave for La Porte
that day.
In the meantime Quincy proved to be a
most enjoyable place. It is the birthplace
of many of our most famous statesmen,
lawyers and engineers. There I met A.
W. Keddie, the "father of the Western
Pacific Railroad," a man who has a col-
lection that makes the historian oblivious
to the Divine command "Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's goods." But this is
the story of the Hendel Collection. In
another article I will tell of the people I
met in, Quincy, the exceptionally interest-
ing data I secured from them, and of the
work of the County Library there.
Mr F. W. Hogan, Public Administrator,
had charge of the Hendel estate. It was
agreed that if the storm broke we would
leave Wednesday for La Porte, the
I arty to include Mr Hogan, W. J. Miller,
Inheritance Tax Appraiser, Leon Clough
and Mr Moody, Court appraisers, and-
myself. When I learned that in the
party was the Public Administrator, the
Coroner, the Undei'taker, the Inheritance
Tax Appraiser, and myself, (a property
owner with several heirs), that the road
to La Porte in winter was one of the most
dangerous in the Sierras, a great big
hunk slipped out of the romance of col-
lecting.
Just before noon on Tuesday the stage
driver told us he would try to get through
to La Porte that day. I put my baggage
in my pocket, borrowed a sweater and a
pair of rubbers from Dr Lasswell, and
hopped in alongside the driver. I was
anxious to see La Porte. But Hogan,
Miller and Clough just looked at Mr
Moody and grinned. Mr Moody was the
undertaker and driver of the Wednesday
car. At noon we started in a little Dodge
truck, scheduled running time two and a
half hours. We' arrived eight hours later.
But we did not lack interest on the way.
Art Gould could do anything but climb a
tree with that Dodge.
At Nelson Point, in one of the oldest
roadhouses in California, I ate one of
Vol. 16, no. 1]
RESEARCHING WITHOUT THE RE.
Grandma Pauly's famous dinners, and a
better cook never fed a famished traveler.
Then came the real grade, some 3500 feet
in five miles. Up, up, up and as we
went up, the drop over the road side
went down, down, down, until, at
the Hog's Back, it was nearly 2000
feet straight down. It was a five-foot
road, full of drifted snow. We piled the
truck full of heavy rocks to make it sink
down in the snow. The wheels spun
round and round until the chains wore a
hole to the frozen ground, and then zip !
the auto would jump ahead a dozen feet,
settle down and begin to buzz as the
wheels tore through to the roadbed again.
I soon learned to double up either way
without warning, but I could not get used
to the thought that the driver would
always have the rudder pointed dead
ahead every time we took a leap. Two
thousand feet straight down is a long way
to go, even in an auto. Eventually we
reached the summit. The sighing pines
had nothing on the sigh that went up
from that truck.
At last we were going down. It began
to grow bitterly cold and windy. We
rounded a bend, a town ahead ! A chance
for a hot cup of coffee ! "What place is
this, Art?" "Onion Valley." "Who lives
in all those houses?" "Nobody." "What
became of the last inhabitant?" "Drank
wood alcohol." "Pleasant place to live."
"Sure. They irrigated the flowers over
at that saloon with the blood of the men
killed in the barroom." Bret Harte died
too soon.
We started upwards again. "Where to
now, Art?" "Summit." "Another one?"
"Sure." "How long before we will get
there?" "God only knows." It was bit-
terly cold. A few more miles, then
another little valley, and, Allah be praised,
there stood a real town, houses, barns,
hotels and everything, saloon-signs un-
obliterated. "Some town this, eh, Art?"
"Sure, Gibsonville." "Who runs that big
hotel?" "Nobody." "Who runs that
small one?" "Nobody." "Well, who runs
the town?" "Nobody. Nobody runs any-
thing here. Nobody's here." It was fear-
fully cold, long after sunset, and the snow
began to fly. "What are we stopping for,
Art?" "Going to get a bobsled out of
this barn." "Whaffor?" "We probably
won't make the summit with the machine
and if we have to leave it in the snow we
can pile the mail on the bobsled and push
it into La Porte." The north wind
whistled through the trees and the wolves
began to howl. I had no pity for the
poor sailor on an angry sea on a night
like this. All he had to do was to go
down. We had 2000 feet to go up.
But the little truck did not relish being
left on a bleak mountain top all winter
under thirty feet of drift. As we neared
the summit we got into deep, soft snow.
It began to pile up against the radiator
in huge scales, one overlapping the other.
The play of the headlights on the moving
mass was very fascinating. Suddenly a
big black object loomed up directly ahead.
A landslide ! Slam went the brakes. I
rubbed my knees as I scrambled back
onto my seat. But the landslide began to
move again. I could already see the
headlines "Buried under thousands of
tons of earth. Bodies can not be dug out
until Spring." But the landslide was
going from us, humping along the road like
an immense cotton-tail rabbit. Gu-r-r-r-
went the gears, zip, and we were tearing
through the snow. Feverishly I rubbed
a place clean on the windshield and glued
my eye to the place. "Hey, Art, what is
it?" "Bear." I sat down quick. I
would willingly have traded my pen for
a tin sword. Even my razor was guaran-
teed not to cut the skin. Art honked and
honked, opened the muffler wide, and raised
all the racket he could. For nearly a
quarter of a mile we chased that bear
along through the soft snow before he
could find an opening where he could
slide down the side. "What did you toot
the horn so for, Art?" "Because I didn't
want that cuss to stop." I got the idea.
Eventually, by getting out every so
often and rolling the huge ball of accumu-
lated snow away from the front of the
machine, we reached summit number two,
and started down grade. It reminded me
very much of a dream, where you lightly
skip along and hit only the high spots,
conscious all the time of the fact that if
we stopped suddenly we would be in the
way of that bobsled trailing along behind.
La Porte ! How good those lights
looked. How good the coffee and "the
ham-and" tasted. As I blew out my can-
dles and got in between the blankets I
10

looked out the window. It was still
snowing.
At seven the next morning I woke up.
It was raining, raining those big, fat,
healthy mountain raindrops that follow
one on top the other hour after hour. I
went over to the Hendel residence. El-
mer Primeau let me in. Things were just
as he left them, maps on the draughting
table, pen, ink and a half finished letter
on his desk, his little keepsakes pinned
here and there, photographs tacked all
over the walls, badges hung on the cur-
tains, and on one corner of his table lay
a little cookbook. He was a bachelor,
very neat, very methodical. The whole
room indicated a most lovable personality.
It seemed heartless to disturb it, but that
was part of my work. Elmer helped me
pack up much of the material that was
already listed for the library. Late in
the afternoon Mr Hogan, Mr Clough and
Mr Moody arrived. Only one thing inter-
ested them. Was there any hot coffee
at the hotel? There was. That evening
-till after midnight we spent around a
redhot stove. If you want an evening of
unalloyed pleasure just get together a
public administrator, a coroner, an under-
taker, a couple of appraisers, a few old
mining engineers, stage drivers, and pros-
pectors and start them talking. It is a
combination you can not beat.
In the meantime we were having hourly
cloudbursts. Early the next morning we
went to the Hendel place. There were
hundreds of maps, pamphlets and books
to go over. Finally, in desperation, Mr
Clough suggested that they roll all the
maps up, pile them in the auto, take them
over to Quincy and look them over there,
leaving me at La Porte to finish packing.
I could follow them in two or three days.
Motion put and carried, one silent vote.
Very reluctantly I bid them goodbye at
the gate, for they were good fellows, and
we had spent many pleasant hours
together. I would follow in a couple of
days. I didn't. I was only too glad to
be able to convince Dan Borland that, if
he hitched four big horses to a little spring
wagon, he could haul myself and 700
pounds of baggage to Woodleaf. Getting
stuck in the mire, skidding off the road,
moving the boxes in and out through the
storm and mud, tearing one's clothes, wet,
shivering, teeth chattering, hungry, eleven
hours hard driving through one of the
heaviest of mountain storms, to arrive
after dark at Marysville, only to find
every hotel filled to the attic, all are but
incidents in the life of the man who goes
out after and brings in the photographs,
the maps and original documents that go
to make up the collection from which the
author prepares the volume tnat allows
you to do "original research work" in a
cosy library chair.

A WORD FROM HAWAII.

A WORD FROM HAWAII.
Extracts from a letter from Miss Laura Robson.
Until Legislature meets next month I
will not know what is to be the status of
the work [here], and if the county library
law or its equivalent is not adopted then,
no further action can be taken before the
next biennial session. So far. we have
done only traveling library work and that
as you know is not as interesting nor as
satisfactory as county work. The trav-
eling libraries have gone out for six years
now and the handling of them has become
unwieldy.
Last week I took another island trip
and was most gloriously seasick. Every-
where is shown a tremendous eagerness
for books. The children fairly clamour
for them. I have added story-telling to
my repertoire and make it a practice to
go into as many rooms as possible. It is
interesting to watch the children — almost
not a white child in a school of several
hundred. Because of their difficulty with
the language I have to send books graded
at least two years below what I would
send to California children. Even the
high school boys and girls ask for fairy
stories. I tell fairy stories to the eighth
graders — which would be an insult to
children in the States — and they sit spell-
bound.
Another thing that surprised me was
the high grade of special requests. Once
in a while I have a request from a com-
munity that almost no fiction. is wanted!
This is not a land of grass skirts and
ukuleles but rather a lot of foreign people
and a comparatively small number of
white people who a"e doing what they can
to help them. There are few idle people.
The rich folks are interested -in educa-
tional or charity work with the foreigners
— giving time as well as money for them.
Some of the foreign students are a fine
type, too. We have some Korean boys as
part-time help in the library who are
studying to be able to go back as trained
helpers for their people. There is a cer-
tain seriousness about it all that I had
not expected to find simply because, I
suppose, the tourist side of the Islands is
what one hears about, and not the home
side.

member named to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Geo. W. Mastick, was
appointed to the finance committe.
Children's Book Week at the Library,
November 15 to 20 inclusive, was an un-
qualified success. The churches, schools,
Sunday schools and clubs entered into
the spirit of the affair and advertised it
so extensively that many children who
had never visited the library before were
on hand during the week. Many of these
children have joined the library and will
be in attendance at the story hour. Dur-
ing the week several talks on children's
reading were given by request. The cir-
culation for the past three months is the
largest for the same period in the history
of the library.

We have to record the passing away,

who was for many years associated with
the Hayward Public Library as a trustee.
Thomas Bartlett Russell was appointed to
succeed him.
The basement of the library has been
fitted up as a meeting place for the Veter-
ans of the Civil War who meet once every
month.
The library is to have installed a large
glass showcase in which to exhibit treas-
ures of all kinds : A place where the
children may bring their curios, coins,
butterflies, etc., and a place where anyone
possessing articles of interest and of edu-
cational value may, for a time, share them
with the public. We have some very
interesting collections from which to
draw, some from the ends of the world
as well as relics of old California
days. Just now are available two fine
collections of colored photographs of the
wild flowers of California, a duplicate of
one of which is to be installed as a per-
manent exhibit in the Academy of Science.
San Francisco.
We have now on permanent exhibition a
case of butterflies caught within a radius
of five niiles of Hayward. and classified
by one of our high school boys. It is a
constant source of interest not only to the
children but to their elders as well.

Mr John Rowley has resigned his

Museum, to take the position of Chief
of Exhibits in the Museum of History,
Science and Art in Los Angeles. The
Simson collection of African fauna has
been lost to Oakland and goes with
Mr Rowley to Los Angeles. This is
because Oakland has not moved fast
enough in the matter of providing a
suitable building, as required by Mr Sim-
son. Mr Snow, who. was with Mr Simson
in Africa, has parted from him, and is
making a separate collection, which may

The library staff has been increased by
the appointment of a second trained
librarian, Miss Florence Baker, a graduate
of the University of California Library's
Summer Course with several years experi-
ence in the University Library and the
public schools. Miss Beulah Haulman
was appointed to fill the new position of
Book Clerk, to handle the distribution of
20,000 free textbooks under the supervi-
sion of the librarian. Plans for the new
library have been completed and approved
and it is hoped that construction will
commence in the spring. The new read-
ing room will accommodate 120 students,
with two large study rooms adjoining,
which will hold 130 more. This wing
will thus become the study unit of the
building with the library as the center
of a department of study and reference.
In addition to the main room there will
be an office for the librarian, a work room,
conference room and class room for in-
struction in the use of the library. A

Memorial Library was closed six days
for repairs, which cut the circulation for
December. Children's Book Week was
celebrated in both the Children's Library
and the East Bakersfield Branch Library.
We had received a large shipment of
children's books a few days before so the
exhibit was unusually interesting.
The circulation of the Beale Memorial
Library and branches for the quarter was
41,205; that of the main library being
23,489, divided between 11,505 for the
adult department and 11,984 for the
children's department, and that of the
East Bakersfield Branch being 17,716.
The work has increased so materially
that it has been necessary to give one
of our assistants full time instead of
half time as heretofore.

The Corcoran Branch was moved to
new quarters in December. The change
is a great improvement as the branch was
formerly located in one small room up-
stairs and the new building provides a
very pleasant reading room and also
store rooms and a small room which is to
be furnished as a children's room.
Miss Florence Meldrim was granted
leave of absence to attend the Riverside

New branches have been requested by
the Standard Oil pumping stations and
by the Adventists' school in the Island

During Children's Book Week an
exhibit of new and particularly attractive
books for the children, kept in the reading
room, proved to be very popular with
both the children and adults.
The supply of Portuguese books of the
State Library having been exhausted by
the people of this community, it seemed
wise to start such a collection of our own.
While it is rather difficult, at the present
time, to secure books from Portugal still
a beginning has been made, and it is
hoped that from time to time the col-
lection will be increased.
It has been gratifying to watch the
steady increase in circulation. While
December was a remarkable month, show-
ing a circulation of 4849, still January
has been exceedingly busy and indications
are that the circulation will reach at
least the 5000 mark.

By action of the Board of Supervisors
a new salary schedule granting a raise of
20 to 40 per cent for all county employees
went into effect July 1, 1920. Los
Angeles County is one of the few counties
in the state that are governed by a county
charter which centralizes authority in the

The increasing use of the books at the

and the Glendale Board of Library
Trustees, Saturday, October 16. Miss
Jacobus, the President of the club pre-
sided at the meeting, held in the Juvenile
Department of the library. After a
greeting by Mrs Temple, the Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, Mr Daniels of
Riverside, gave a delightful talk on "Li-
brary Progress" emphasizing the idea that
real library progress is what the library
accomplishes in promoting a spirit of good-
will and fellowship in the community in
which it is located. Mrs Danford spoke
of the librarian's opportunity to win
the confidence of her readers and to help
them solve their problems. She spoke of
the library as being a supplement to the
church. Mr Gushing of Tropico branch
of the Glendale library spoke of the bene-
fits of consolidation. Interesting ques-
tions were brought up and discussed at
the Round Table conducted by Mrs Man-

gram after which the guests were given

were distributed ; and the library also
gave out lists of books on sale in the
local bookstores that were endorsed by
the library as good gift books for children.
During "Good Books "Week," the

The Art Gallery showed in October and
November a very good collection of paint-
ings by modern artists. They were
loaned by Miss Augusta Senter, Mr and
Mrs William Preston Harrison, and the
County Museum of Art. Following this
was an exhibit of charming water colors
by Howell C. Brown. They represented
mainly scenes in the Southwest, the land
of desert and cliff-dweller. The most
recent exhibit in the Art Gallery is a col-
lection of paintings, mainly portraits, by
John H. Rich. The art treasures of the
library have been greatly increased by a
very generous gift from Mr and Mrs
Frank B. Sturge of Long Beach. They
have presented to the library two large
Satsuma vases and a placque and some
rare and valuable Chinese vases of large
size. They have also given several beau-
tiful paintings, which quite transform the
walls of the reading rooms.

librarian and finds her branch growing
rapidly.
The Los Angeles Public Library, after
careful consideration, has decided to drop
the colon numbers on nonfiction, changing
from the arbitrary arrangement of books
in sequence of purchase to the alphabeti-
cal system by use of Cutter numbers.
In the Fiction Department Cutter num-
bers have been done away with and author
and title substituted. The latest model
multigraph machine has been installed in
order to make the change as orderly and
quickly as possible.
The contract for periodicals for 1921
has been awarded to the Sunset Subscrip-
tion Agency. This library now subscribes
for 871 magazines and 52 newspapers.
The Civil Service examination for
Principal Attendants was taken and suc-

in the School and Teachers' Room.
The appointment of Miss Mabel Ella

the Boyle Heights Branch has been a
genuine acquisition to the service of this
Carnegie Branch.
Miss Estelle Bridge, Library School of

Our calendar year 1920 was the most
successful in membership gains in our
history, with IIS additional members ad-
mitted, breaking all records for our
organization throughout the United States
for the year.
Our Library we have not pushed as
vigorously as our membership, but have
added several hundred volumes by gift.
We began a campaign to raise $2500 for
purchase of books, most of which has been
received" and many volumes have been
ordered that are beginning to arrive. We
are specializing in genealogies and local
histories.
Many visitors from the east are coining
to our library daily. Old faces reappear
who have dropped in from year to year.
They all speak of the increase in number
of volumes, and to the surprise of many
they many times find here what they are
unable to secure in other parts of the
country.
Financially we are in the best condition
in our history. Our Life Membership
Fund, in the hands of the Trustees is
materially added to as we had more Life
Memberships taken out this past year
than ever before.
The 1921 Roster of the Society is in

The bookstores cooperated by window dis-

to children's reading". We think that
more adults than last year studied our
exhibit with reference to the needs of
their own children. The local bookstores
report a slight amount of inquiry for the
listed books, but not at all extensive.
The usual lessons in the use of the
library have been given classes in the

The Napa County Teachers' Institute
was held in October and during this time
many of the teachers became acquainted
with the county library and its resources.
A short talk was made at the institute
explaining the service to schools. Since
the Institute six schools — Blue Mountain
joint, Soda Canon, Columbus, Gordan
Valley, Howell Mountain and ShurLleff —
joined the county library. This makes
thirty schools in all belonging. Three
new branches have been established ; they
are Jefferson, Fly and Capell.
The custodians of Rutherford, Yount-
ville, Carneros and TJrowns Valley
branches are now being paid five dollars
a month.
An initial purchase of about one hun-
dred phonograph records was made in
December. These have been fully cata-
logued and prepared for circulation as
records had been promised the schools
beginning January 1.
Miss Ralpha Wilson was granted a
six weeks leave of absence on pay, to

The WTomens Club continues to add to

building becomes possible and to agitate
the question of its necessity.
Two vacancies occurred on our board
of Library Trustees. Mrs Clement moved
away and Mrs Rogers resigned. Mr H.
L. Gibbs and Mr P. S. Johnson accepted
appointment to fill the positions.
A reading and discussion club has been
organized to promote the increased use and
support of the library. There are 100
members, and the dues of 50 cents per
year are to be spent for standard litera-
ture. Meetings are to be held in the
library one afternoon a month. It has
been named the Stevenson Club in honor
of the author of "Silverado Squatters."
From this time on the Calistoga Library
will serve the High School district free.
We feel that our book fund is insufficient
to render adequate service, but, supple-
mented by loans from the county, we shall
serve to the best of our ability.

Library. Miss Bertha D. Proctor, Lib'n.
Like many smaller libraries the funds
are not sufficient for the books we need.
Perhaps other libraries may be helped to
some extent by what we have done this
Christmas.
A few Aveeks before Christmas I planned
to have the usual Christmas book
exhibit and wished to have some attrac-
tive books to show but our own copies
were worn and to have this display we
should have new books. There being no
bookstore in our city I started a book-
shop in my office. I sent to one of the
book stores in Los Angeles for about fifty
well illustrated children's books. We sold
these to the people of Huntington Beach
and received a certain discount for selling.
This money we used in buying children's
books for the library. We reordered

twice as the business was beyond expecta-
tions.
We have organized an Orange County
Library Club. Before the Orange County
Fair there was a meeting of the Orange
County librarians called together to make
plans for the exhibit for the Fair. Santa
Ana being more central than Huntington
Beach the meeting was held in the Santa
Ana Library and we were guests of Miss
McFadden for lunch. At this meeting
we decided to start an organization of
county library workers. Nothing was
done that day but a few plans were
suggested and Miss Maxwell of Fullerton
invited us to Fullerton to organize.
Election Day being a legal holiday, many
of the librarians could attend and we
were invited to be Miss Maxwell's guests.
The following was written for the Santa
Ana Register :
Library Club Formed In the County.
With the object of giving the public
better service, of working out more
systematic means of advertising and of
bringing books before the people, the
Orange County Library Club has been
organized, with Miss Minnie Maxwell of
Fullerton as President and Miss Bertha
D. Proctor "of Huntington Beach secre-
tary-treasurer. The organization meeting
was held in the reference room of the
Fullerton Library. Miss Maxwell acted
as hostess. Library workers from Orange
County and Whittier were present. There
was a general discussion of library man-
agement and the meeting was declared
a pronounced success. Whittier librarians
were invited, owing to the city's proximity
to Orange County. It was decided to
hold meetings quarterly, with the under-
standing that more frequent meetings will
be held if thought best. The next meeting-
will be held at Whittier, with Miss Jessie
Harris as hostess. After the business
meeting the visitors were invited to Miss
Maxwell's home where a delicious lunch-
eon was served by the library workers
and the library board of the Fullerton
Public Library.
Those present were : Miss J. E. Cal-
non, Miss F. A. Swerdfeger, Anaheim ;

very soon a teacher for service to children
in libraries and schools and a special
lecturer for the high school library- The
winter school extends over eleven weeks
beginning January 3, 1921.

An appropriation of $00,000 has been
secured for 1921. A budget of $70,000
was asked and a committee ' of a dozen
tax payers including the president of the
chamber of commerce and presidents of
a number of business organizations, banks
and women's clubs signed a petition urging
the common council to grant this increase.
Articles in the newspapers, letters to
councilmen, and the petition were effec-
tive in securing $10,0Q0 more than last
year although the new branch and greater
book fund hoped for were not granted.
Since the city tax rate as a whole was
cut and by the charter the library might
have been reduced to $48,000, the out1
come is comforting if not ecstatic. The
park department was given a 50 per
cent increase, the operating department,
33 per cent, and the police and library
departments each 25 per cent. Most of
the other departments received no increase
and several were seriously cut.
A revised salary classification based
upon the recommendations of the C. L. A.
adopted at Riverside in May, 1920, has
been passed by the Board of Library
Trustees. Because the common council
has appointed a committee to standardize
all city salaries and the library's schedule
is higher than the recommendations of
this committee, there has been a delay
in puttingi this classification into effect.
The city attorney has ruled, however, that
the Board of Library Trustees has the
right to set the compensations of its
employees so that the chances for the
council's approval of the library's payroll
seem good. It provides a raise of $20
or $15 for every full-time employee, sets
a minimum of $90 for senior assistants
and a minimum above the state minimum
wage law rate for junior assistants and
apprentices. Salary increases- move in
three years from the minimum to the

maximum in each class. Five years was
the former period of increase.
The annual circulation of the year 1920
was 675,015 volumes. This includes the
periodical circulation of 34,626, the pic-
ture circulation of 6336 and a pamphlet
circulation of 305. The gain of 74,918
books over 1919 was made wi1;h no addi-
tions to the centres or forms of service
and in spite of the loss of twenty camp
deposits. More than a third of the growth
was in the main library but each of the
five branches circulated from 1300 to
13,000 books more than last year. The
University Heights Branch made the
largest growth, due partly to the change
in its location and partly to the effec-
.tive work of Miss Anna Allsebrook, its
new librarian. The circulation is now
distributed as follows : 54.3 per cent at
the main library and children's annex,
26.6 per cent through the five branches,
and 18.9 per cent through the sixty
deposit stations.
The library employees have formed an
organization to settle the exciting and
recurrent debate on what to give for
staff wedding presents, to buy flowers for
staff members who are ill, plan picnics,
and collect monies for similar common
expenses. It likewise discusses and
brings to the attention of the librarian
and library trustees any matters needing
adjustment in ^the way of staff regula-
tions. Miss Irma Brink was elected
president, Miss Lena B. Hunzicker, secre-
tary, and Miss Catherine C. Smith,
treasurer. The following petition was
presented last fall and was granted by the
Board of Library Trustees.:
"Whereas, the San Diego Public Li-
brary does not close on all legal holidays
and election days (as provided for by
section 10 of the Political Code of Cali-
fornia, and the San Diego City Charter)
and also such days as are declared special
holidays by the mayor and observed by
the city hall and other city departments,
we, the staff of the San Diego Public Li-
brary, do hereby respectfully request that
the time be allowed to library employees
who work on these days ; such time to be
applied either on sick leave, or to be
taken at the discretion of the principal in

with the Jas. Hugh Wise Library which
is the Official Library of the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company. The location is
at the headquarters of the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company, 445 Sutter Street,
San Francisco.
The Gas Association Library contains
nothing but technical books particularly
pertaining to the gas industry and of its
kind it is no doubt the best equipped
library on the coast.
The Jas. Hugh Wise Library contains
books of various kinds, fiction and tech-
nical. The consolidation of these two
libraries thus makes a very useful unit
for the employees of the Pacific Gas

brary is pleasantly located in the ice
cream parlor of the custodian where the
community has access to the books at any
time.
September 9, Bobbins and Young pur-
chased the Manteca store formerly owned
by Mr J. M. Toomey, where the library
has been located. Owing to the growth of
the population at Manteca, more commodi-
ous quarters were imperative and through
our cooperation with-fehe Parent-Teacher
Association, we were very fortunate in
locating it in the City Hall Building. A
meeting of the Parent Teacher Associa-
tion was attended at Manteca where a
very interesting literary and musical pro-
gram was given. Plans for the new
location of the Library were also dis-
cussed.
Mr E. W. Bidwell, for many years
custodian of the Escalon Branch Library,
retired from business and it was neces-
sary to secure' a new location. On Dec.

The Newark charging system in its
simplest form is now well in the running
after a period of three months' transi-
tion from a system of temporary book
"checks made out by the borrower. Only
the active books are being prepared.
While work on the fiction is nearly com-
plete, the nonfiction, because of its
greater variety, of turnover, will require a
longer period. For the sake of uniformity I
in filing, all unprepared books leaving the
library (about 10 per cent) are being j
issued on temporary slips of the same
size as the permanent charging cards.
These books are corralled as they return
from circulation and equipped with plain
manilla pockets (used also as date slips)
and 2 by 5 charging cards. Each borrower
now has only one card, on which fiction
charges are distinguished from nonfiction
charges by relative location, e. g. Fic-
tion is stamped from top down ; nonfic-
tion, from the bottom up, thus minimiz-
ing unused space. The number of non-
fiction loaned to an indivadual is no longer
limited.

made by machine over in Butte Valley.
We were gone three days and in that time
visited nine schools and traveled about
three hundred miles.
The first of November the librarian was
absent for a few days while on a trip
into Trinity County.
The librarian attended the meeting o*
the Ninth District of the California Li-

At the December meeting of the Board
of Supervisors a resolution was passed to
allow salaries to all custodians of
branches circulating more than a hundred
books a month.
December 13 the new room allowed us
by the Board of Supervisors was ready
for occupancy, so we moved in with the
assistance of a couple of men from the
jail. The new room is simply a stack
room for books. It is a great relief to
have this extra space.
We now have the Teachers' Library in
the County Library rooms. The books
of a pedagogical or educational nature are
shelved in the office iu the section next
to the one containing the sample texts.

let us live with our children — in books,"
and telling of the many delightful books
which parents can share- with their young
folks. At intervals through the lecture
the titles of well-known books were illus-
trated by children from various grades of
the school. There were a dozen charac-
ters from Mother Goose as well as Mother
Goose herself in tableaux. Uncle Remus,
the little boy, Brer Rabbit and the Tar
Baby were shown. A Little Women
group and The Courtship of Miles Stand-
ish, in honor of the Mayflower Tercen-
tenary, punctuated books for older chil-
dren. There was a banner attendance at

building which will be approximately 30
by 50 feet over all, with arrangements
whereby an extra reading room, IS by 15
feet, may be added in the rear without
disarranging the building. The main
floor of the building will be devoted to
the reading and delivery room with an
entrance vestibule. The basement will be
arranged for the handling of books and
will contain lavatories and space which
may be fitted up for meeting rooms or
such purposes. An outdoor reading room
will be placed in the angle between the
main building and the proposed extension.
Building plans will be rushed. — Modesto

a number of men of local importance,
telling of their youthful favorites in the
book world, and these books, so far as
they could be obtained, were placed on

we exhibited the most beautiful of the
new books for children. The whole ex-

DIRECTORY FOR LIBRARY SUPPLIES AND OTHER ITEMS
OF GENERAL INTEREST.
Many public libraries waste a great f
deal of time and money before they find
good places to get supplies. The plan is
to give all libraries the benefit of the
experience of the older libraries of the
State by listing under different heads the
houses that have been found to give sat-
isfaction, the names and addresses being
furnished by the older and larger libraries
of California. In this way suggestions
will be given as to where different sorts
of books may be bought, where books may
be rebound or periodicals bound, where
library furniture may be bought, etc.,
both in California and in the East.
If any information is needed about the
firms listed below which can not be ob-
tained from the firms themselves, the
names of the libraries recommending the
different ones will be sent to any library
upon application to the State Library.

ANNUAL MEETING.
The 2Gth annual meeting will be held
at Tahoe Tavern, Lake Tahoe, June 13
to 15, 1921.
Executive Committee Meeting.
At the meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee held December 11, 1920 the follow-
ing resolution was adopted :
"Whereas, The shortage^ of trained
workers is a serious handicap to the
efficient functioning of county and munic-
ipal libraries throughout this state, and
Whereas, The California State Library
School, which in January, 1914, was
established to meet this need, was dis-
continued in June, 1920, in order that the
full measure of State support should be
concentrated in a single agency for pro-
fessional training, that agency being the
State University, and
Whereas, The University Library for
two years past has provided this training
as an adjunct to its normal activities and
without financial provision for the requi-
site staff of instructors, and
Whereas, The enormous enrollment in
the U/niversity has resulted in greatly in-
creased demands upon the Library, so that
professional training can be continued
only at the expense of the service which
the officers and students of the University
have a right to expect from their Library,
and
Whereas, The continuance of this work
is a matter of the highest importance not
alone to the library profession but also
to every tax payer throughout the State
of California ; for without a trained per-
sonnel the library as an institution of
popular service can not hope to give an
adequate return on the capital therein
invested.
Therefore be it resolved, that we, the
President and the Executive Committee of
the California Library Association, acting
62
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Jan., 1921
for the Association, do hereby place upon
record our belief and our earnest desire
that the State University should continue
to include in its curriculum a course of
professional training for librarians, and do
respectfully request the State Budget
Board to recommend, and the present
Legislature to make, an adequate appro-
priation for the purpose."
The President was authorized to ap-
point a committee for the purpose of
bringing before the library workers, and
the state and university authorities the
necessity of putting the University of
California Library School on a firm finan-
cial and professional basis. The members
of the special committee are Milton J.
Ferguson, chairman, Harold L. Leupp and
Cornelia D. Provines.
Certification Committee.

DISTRICT MEETINGS.
First and Second Districts Meeting.
A meeting of the First and Second dis-
tricts of the Association was held in San
Jose, November 13, 1920.
Business sessions, presided over by Miss
Helen Evans, President of the Second
District, occupied the time of the dele-
gates during the morning, while a mixed
program including solos by Miss Wini-
fred. Estabrook, and addresses by Dr W.
W. Kemp, president of the San Jose Nor-
mal School, and Miss Clara Smith, of the
city board of education, marked the after-
noon session.
The interval between sessions was given
over to a very enjoyable luncheon at the
Young Women's Christian Association, at
which 48 delegates and friends were
seated.
During the morning session the matter
of certification of librarians was the sub-
ject of discussion by Charles S. Greene,
librarian of the Oakland Free library ;
Milton J. Ferguson, state librarian, and
Miss Cornelia D. Provines, President of
the Association. In view of the difficulty
of certification by law, it was voted that
the Executive Committee be requested to
release the Certification Committee from
presenting a bill to the Legislature.
Carlton B. Joeckel, librarian of the
Berkeley public library, presented the
following resolution which was adopted
without a dissenting vote :
WHEREAS, The Librarians of the First
and Second Districts of the California
Library Association realize that there is
an unprecedented development in libraries
in California, and
WHEREAS, Librarians are finding great
difficulty in filling vacancies in city,
county, high school, normal, and college
libraries, and
WHEREAS, The California State Li-
brary School, recognizing the University
of California as the institution of formal
instruction, has discontinued its courses,
and
WHEREAS, The courses in Library
Science at the University of California
have been conducted during the past two
years with insufficient support ; there-
fore be it
RESOLVED, That the Librarians of the
First and Second Districts of the Cali-
fornia Library Association strongly urge
that the University do everything in its
power to develop a professional school for
librarians at the University of California ;
and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolu-
tion be sent to the President of the Uni-
versity of California, and to the Chairman
of the State Board of Control.
Miss Helen Evans was elected Nomi-
nator from the Second District, with
Chas. F. Woods, as alternate.
Solos by Miss Estabrook opened the
afternoon session, the address by Dr
Kemp dealt with the teacher training
problems, the dearth of teachers in Cali-
fornia and in the United States, and the
falling off in the number of students
and graduates in the normal schools in
the state of California. At the same time
that attendance at normal schools has
fallen off, he noted, that of colleges and
universities has increased. From this
Dr Kemp inferred that there was some-
thing more than salaries at the bottom of
the movement — that young people went to
the higher institutions of learning because
they granted degrees. He' held that normal
schools should be empowered to grant some
such degrees as Bachelor of Education,
without, however, making universities of
the normal schools, or making them fields
for the training of secondary teachers, but
rather to keep them as now, centers of
training for elementary teachers.

The speaker called attention to the
sharp line now drawn between the teachers
in the elementary and secondary fields
of education, in matter of salaries
paid. "The time has come to break down
this barrier," declared Dr Kemp, "the
line shoud be drawn on the amount of
training received, rather than where that
training is employed in teaching."
Discussing the fact that but inadequate
reading is done by students, the speaker
declared that the curriculum of public
schools is so full that the students have
neither time nor energy to devote to the
proper amount of library -reading. At
this point he paid a high compliment to
the library of the Normal School, which
he described as "the loveliest spot in the
whole Normal school," and containing
an unusually fine selection of books, the
best in any Normal school west of the
Rocky mountains. High praise was given
Miss Evans, the librarian, and her assist-
ant, Miss Estabrook.
Even Normal school students, Dr Kemp
went on, discussing the necessity for
broader general reading, do not have the
best attitude toward books, according to
the opinions of superintendents of schools.
Partial reason for this was found to be
due to the fragmentary topical readings
given. The speaker finally insisted that
a course of two or three weeks should be
given to each student immediately upon
entering the Normal school, which would
serve to familiarize him with the library,
and develop a desirable inclination to
"browsing." _
Miss Clara Smith, Supervisor of Rural
Schools, nest addressed the librarians
present, pointing- out the assistance that
might be rendered by the county libraries
to the teachers in the rural schools,
especially young teachers just out of the
Normal school, who approach their task
without sufficient social experience, and
are faced with many new problems. Miss
Smith concluded wj.th a plea for the close
personal cooperation of the county librari-
ans with such teachers.
The program was closed with solos by
Miss Estabrook, following which tea was
served to visiting librarians and their
guests.
Chas. F. Woods,
Secretary of Second District.
Ninth District Meeting.
The Ninth District, California Library
Association, held its annual meeting
December 4, 1920 at the State Normal
School in Chico.
The meeting was called to order at
10.30 a.m. by the District President, Miss
Maude Middleton. The morning session
was devoted to informal discussions on
exchange of school books, salaries of
assistants and short cuts in cataloging.
After luncheon at Hotel Oaks the after-
noon session was opened by an address
by C. M. Osenbaugh, President of the
Chico Normal School. The President of
the Association, Miss Cornelia D. Pro-
vines, spoke on topics of interest to the
Association.
Miss Lillian Gunther of Gainesville,
Texas, told of the pioneer work that is
being done in establishing county libra-
ries in Texas and of the inspiration and
help received from California.
After a discussion on certification of
librarians the following resolution was
adopted :
WHEREAS, The Librarians of the Ninth
District of the California Library Asso-
ciation realize that the certification com-
mittee is at present under obligation to
present a bill at the coming legislature
regarding the certification of librarians,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Librarians of the
Ninth District of the California Library
Association go on record as in favor of
releasing the certification committee from
their obligation of presenting a bill at the
coming legislature, if in their judgment
it is not advisable to do so ; and, further
be it
RESOLVED, .That copies of this reso-
lution be sent to the President of the
Association and to the Chairman of this
committee.
Miss Alice Anderson read the resolu-
tion passed at the joint meeting of First
and Second Districts relative to library
instruction in the University of Califor-
nia. The resolution was adopted.
Miss Maude Middleton was unanimously
elected nominator for the Ninth District.
A motion was made by Miss Livingston
that the secretary be instructed to extend
to the State Library greetings from the
Ninth District in convention assembled
and also our appreciation for the sympa-
thy and interest afforded at all times.
This was amended by Miss Anderson to
mention especially that the State Library
64

people who were not present were greatly
missed. Miss Hewitt seconded it as
amended and the motion carried unani-
mously.
The secretary was also instructed to
send an expression of sympathy to Miss
Essae Culver who was absent due to the
recent death of her mother.
On the motion of Miss Morse a vote of
thanks was given to the Chairman for
the successful meeting, and to the Chico
Public Library, Chico Normal School and
to the people of Chico for their hospi-
tality.

BOARD OF LIBRARY EXAMINERS.
65
BOARD OF LIBRARY EXAMINERS, CALIFORNIA
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
Milton J. Ferguson, State Librarian,
Chairman.
Everett R. Perry, Librarian, Los An-
geles Public Library, Secretary.
Robert Rea, Librarian, San Francisco
Public Library.
Sections 6 and 7 of the County free li-
brary law (Chap. 68, Cal. Statutes 1911)
read as follows :
Sec. 6. A commission is hereby cre-
ated to be known as the board of library
examiners, consisting of the state libra-
rian, who shall be ex officio chairman of
said board, the librarian of the public
library of the rity and county of San
Francisco, and the librarian of the Los
Angeles public library.
Sec. 7. Upon the establishment of a
county free library, the board of super-
visors shall appoint a county librarian,
who shall hold office for the term of four
years, subject to prior removal for cause,
after a hearing, by said board. No per-
son shall be eligible to the office of county
librarian unless, prior to his appointment,
he has received from the board of library
examiners a certificate of qualification for
the office. At the time of his appoint-
ment, the county librarian need not be a
resident of the county nor a citizen of the
State of California.
REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN.
The Board of Library Examiners held
an examination in Sacramento, December
22, 1921.
At the meeting held on that day the
following change in the rulings of the
Board was adopted :
RESOLVED, That on and after this
date the Board of Library Examiners will
give only one grade of certificate which
shall make the holder thereof eligible for
appointment to any county free librarian-
ship in the state of California.
In making this change the Board gave
notice that
1. Candidates must have had at least
one full year's experience in a library of
recognized standing before they will be
admitted to examination.
2. Candidates must attain an average
grade of at least 75 per cent in examina-
tions to be granted a certificate.
3. The subjects on which mai'kings will
be based are the following :
5—8877
a. General education, library ex-
perience.
b. Library science and technique.
c. Library conditions and laws in
California, and in general.
d. Personality and fitness ; execu-
tive ability.
Candidates falling below a 75 per cent
marking in personality and fitness and
executive ability may, in the discretion
of the Board, be denied a certificate.
Persons who have heretofore been
issued first or second grade, certificates,
but who are not employed as librarians
of a county free library will be required
to take the regular examination in order
to receive the new certificates.
Persons who have heretofore been issued
first or second grade certificates and who
are employed as librarians of county free
libraries may in the discretion of the
Board receive the new certificates without
being required to take the regular exam-
inations. Holders of second grade certifi-
cates, however, will be asked to appear
before the Board before the new certifi-
cates will be issued. Later notice thereof
will be given. But the Board reserves
the right in its judgment to require such
persons whose certificates are about to
expire to take the regular examinations.
The life of current certificates shall not
be affected by above resolution.
In makingi this change, the Board was
largely influenced by the fact that origin-
ally the counties were graded according to
classification, whereas at present they
should be graded by service. As this
would be difficult to do, and as it will
cause more and more complications to try
to adapt the grade of the certificate to
the changing classification and new salar-
ies, it was thought best to abolish grades
of certificates and issue only one kind,
as is done in the case of teachers. Other
considerations entered into the proposi-
tion, but these were the main points.
Four candidates took the examination,
one of whom, Miss Margaret E. Living-
ston, came before the Board in order to
' raise her grade. Since grades were abol-
66

[Jan., 1921
ished on that day, Miss Livingston, as
well as the other three candidates, all of
whom passed, received the new certificate.
Those taking the examination and re-
ceiving the certificate were : Miss Hazel
G. Gibson, Miss Margaret E. Livingston,
Miss Beulah Mumm, Miss Elizabeth R.
Topping.

REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
Susan T. Smith, in charge.
The Reference Department furnishes
information to any inquirer. It furnishes
books to public libraries on request of the
librarian, and to any other educational
institution on request of its official head
or its librarian ; to individuals through the
signature of a state officer, of the Li-
brarian of the local library or of the
official head of any other educational in-
stitution or on receipt of a $5.00 deposit ;
to a club or grange on request of its presi-
dent, secretary or librarian. In counties
having county free libraries, all requests
must be made through the county free
library.
The work of sending material to county
library branches, could be done much more
efficiently were full directions given as to
exact name of Branch and shipping
station.
In some instances the community
branch and school district branch have
the same name and same post office but
are widely apart — or they have the same
name and different post office. Unless
enough information is given on the request
slips for us to distinguish between the
two, the wrong borrower is apt to receive
the books. Frequently the name of the
Custodian or Principal is given but as we
do not ship to individuals, (except in
isolated cases), this form of address is
of no help to us.
Another way the county librarians can
be of great assistance to us is for each
one to run through his county in the
October number of News Notes of Cali-
fornia Libraries to see if the posit office
and express addresses are correct for
every branch. If they are not, and if
corrections or later changes have not
already been sent in, they should be sent
at once. Our complete card address list
of branches is revised by the information
sent for the annual statistics number, and
by subsequent changes as reported.
During the first part of the Legislature,
one of the members came to us for a list
of all the branch libraries in his district
with their post-office addresses, as he
wished to mail home legislative material
to the branch librarians. This is an
example of the legitimate use made of this
information, aside from the very important
one of causing correct and prompt ship-
ping.
CATALOG DEPARTMENT.
Ida G. Mtjnson, in charge.
During October, November and Decem-
ber 2216 books were cataloged and 11,485
cards were added to the file.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT.
Eudora Gaboittte, in charge.
The California Department aims to
have a thoroughly good collection of books
on the history and description, resources
and industries of the State, as well as the
works of California authors in all de-
partments of literature. These are made
accessible by means of a card catalog.
Full names and biographical sketches of
California authors, artists, musicians,
pioneers and early settlers are being
secured, together with their photographs.
The collection of bound periodicals is

quite large. The Department also con-
tains about 7000 bound volumes of news-
papers, a file of which is being indexed
with reference to the history of the State.
Students will be assisted in their work.
Pioneers and Early Settlers.
A number of the cards received are
from Grass Valley and vicinity and are as
follows : Cornelius Clauson, Mrs Marion
Virginia Conaway, Mrs Caroline B. J.
Hill, Mrs Gertrude Leah Barker, Mrs
Mary C. Snyder, Charles Edwin Taber

Israel Solomon arrived in San Fran-
cisco from London in 1S49, where he lived
continuously until his death. He was an
importer and merchant and one of the
founders of Temple Israel.
Another San Franciscan was Cephas
Turner, Jr., who arrived in 1850 and
lived continuously in the city with the
exception of a short time in the mines
soon after his arrival.
Judge Elisha Cotton Winchell also
arrived in 1S50. Judge Winchell became
a prominent citizen and held many public
offices, most of them of a judicial nature.
He was county judge in Fresno for a
number of years. He died in Berkeley
July 24, 1913.

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF A
HEAD LIBRARIAN.*
By Mrs Julia G. Babcock, Librarian, Kern County F'ree Library.
President Blaisdell of Pomona College said in a recent address that
when he was considering the call to the presidency of that institution,
he was talking about it with a member of the faculty of the University
of California, who said to him, ' ' The young people of that college have
the capacity for loyalty to a cause." He decided right then that
they were the kind of young people with whom he wished to work.
"Capacity for loyalty to a cause" indicated fine qualities on the part of
the student body.
Loyalty is one of the essentials of professional ethics. An idea takes
hold of one and demands devotion; the same idea wins other devotees,
who then become mutually bound together because of their common
bond of interest.
Physicians and lawyers observe scrupulously certain unwritten laws
in their relations with those of the same profession. They will not
discuss each other, though you may be cognizant of the fact that they
will not work with certain members of their profession nor call them
into consultation. If chance has led you to consult one of them, the
services of another cannot be secured until all obligations to the first
have been discharged. Lawyers may abuse each other mercilessly in
the court room, but they will not decry each other's ability elsewdiere.
Architects and engineers are likewise considerate in the treatment of
their compeers, and will not censure other members of the same profes-
sion. However, it sometimes happens that an architect will not submit
plans with those of one whom he considers his inferior. Ministers have
their own rules -of courteous Christian conduct toward one another even
when their views are diametrically opposed.
Librarianship is distinctly different from these independent profes-
sions, in which each man is building up his own clientele, for the
librarian is a public servant, employed to serve the people of a well-
defined locality. The librarian does not own the library building, nor
the books therein, and certainly does not engage in the work for profit.
In this, he comes closer to the altruistic standard of the minister than to
that of any other calling. All the more then is the librarian bound by
the strongest obligations to be guided by the spirit of the golden rule.
Professional courtesy is kindliness and graeiousness extended habitually
to those engaged in the same vocation, or those with whom the work
brings contact.
Courtesy is due to the public on the part of the librarian and each of
his assistants. How often has a timid borrower been driven awTay from
a library forever by a curt answer to a civil inquiry ! The library
worker should never be too busy to give attention to the most casual
question, and to satisfy the need of the inquirer. I have never heard
of a librarian wdio showed discourtesy to a person because of race, color,
or creed. I believe that that tendency is not one to which librarians are
♦Paper read at meeting of California Library Association, Riverside, 1920.

124 NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [April, 1921
prone. The library is the most democratic of institutions, a place of
security from affront for the adult or the child from- any part of the
world. Even the tramp may find warmth and mayhap inspiration
within its walls. Many absurd questions, many titles amusingly garbled
are asked across the charging or the information desk. At times it is a
temptation to keep a record of them. Is it kindly to those whom we
profess to desire to serve, to remember these ridiculous mistakes, or to
give them to the press or to our own library periodicals? Ignorance
will always be encountered and it is our business in so far as possible to
inform, and never to ridicule. By repeating these droll occurrences, do
Ave extend our sphere of influence ? Do we gain the confidence of those
who most need the services of the institution over which we preside?
Should we not rather extend the same protection to these inquirers,
which the physician gives to the person who consults him professionally ?
Even the law recognizes the sanctity of any communication given pro-
fessionally to a physician or an attorney.
Ordinary good breeding, to say nothing of courtesy, demands that a
librarian speak no evil of others engaged in the same work, nor cast
slurs upon the library the other represents, unless it may be necessary
to the upbuilding of an institution which has fallen into disrepute
through incompetence. Amputations are sometimes needful, but should
be as carefully performed as those of the expert surgeon. The opera-
tion must be successful, even though the patient succunibs. The good of
a public service is of greater importance than the happiness of an incom-
petent public servant. No one who is not thoroughly efficient in his
particular office, whatever it may be, has any right to receive compensa-
tion from the public purse. It is* the privilege of librarians as of other
human beings to choose their intimates in the service as well as out-
side of it.
It sometimes happens that an assistant of recognized ability and
value is desired by some other librarian who can offer a larger salary.
Ought the librarian who would like to secure the services of this assist-
ant write direct to the assistant, or first to the other librarian ? It would
seem that the fair thing is first to write to the librarian and let him
know of the offer that is intended or desired. If the librarian in whose
library the assistant is working can not give as large a salary as the
one offered, then it becomes his duty to lay the whole matter before the
assistant and let her decide it. This presupposes that the librarian is
both honest and honorable. Otherwise, the assistant would have no
knowledge of the larger opportunity, which would be manifestly unjust.
The librarian must work for the good of the profession as well as for
the good of the individual library.
Sometimes an assistant, while still in the employ of one library, writes
to the librarian of another, inquiring if any position is open. The
librarian of the second library may very properly reply direct to the
assistant, but he would do well to write to the librarian of the first
library, making some inquiry. Everything may be entirely right, but,
on the other hand, there may be some serious condition back of it, which
it would be advisable to know. In the one case, no possible harm can
vol. 16, no. 2] PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. 125
be done any one; in the other, a world of regret may be prevented.
It is wise to know both sides of a story.
Assistants leaving one library to go to another should always allow
time, unless there be some urgent reason for doing otherwise, for the
librarian they are leaving to secure someone for the .position left vacant.
Otherwise the work may be seriously hampered.
There must be team work between the librarian and his assistants.
The head of the library must not make the assistants feel that they are
working for him, but with him toward the same end — the complete
service of the community. There must be no pets and no victims of
fault-finding. Slight errors should be overlooked unless they are funda-
mental, and a spirit of patience and helpfulness should be shown by the
librarian. When the inaccuracies of an assistant imperil the work of
the library, or add materially to the work of supervision, that assistant
should be eliminated as quickly as possible. It is not well, neither is it
fair to the public who are paying the bills, to worry along with an
incompetent worker. The assistant should be given due notice that her
services will not be required after a certain date set far enough ahead
to allow her to make other plans or to secure another position. She
ought, at the same time, to be told why her services are being dispensed
with. Here arises another difficult situation for the librarian. The
person to whom the assistant applies for a position will naturally make
some investigation as to her record in the last position, and as to why
she is leaving it. What ought the librarian to do when asked about the
assistant? Anyone dislikes to go on record as condemning another,
and is loath to stand in the way of any f ellow- worker 's chances of secur-
ing a livelihood. Why not let the other librarian find out the fault as
you have done? Why not gloss over the matter? Will professional
ethics permit the avoidance of an uncomfortable duty? I think not.
However, it is not necessary to exaggerate the defect, and it may be that
the same failing will not appear in other surroundings and in other
work. Give the applicant the benefit of that possibility.
The librarian owes it to his staff to give them due consideration in
the matter of salaries, securing for them compensation as nearly as
possible commensurate with their ability and usefulness. He should
give them due credit for good work done, in reports and in publicity
material. He should allow them a voice in the policies of the library,
especially if they have had considerable experience.
Assistants should have the opportunity of attending library meetings,
of visiting other libraries occasionally, of appearing before organiza-
tions, of preparing news articles, and should be given every possible
chance for the all-round development that may fit them for larger work,
or for administrative positions. The librarian must not be selfish in
wanting to keep fine assistants if their own fitness warrants something
better. If an assistant is asked to speak upon a library topic before
some club or other public assemblage, she should consult with the
librarian before doing so. Otherwise, some incorrect impression con-
cerning the library or its policy may be given that will do irreparable
injury.
The librarian should keep assistants posted as far as practicable as to
new plans and projects of the library, and should see that they have
126 NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [April, 1921
every possible means of keeping abreast of library progress, by subscrib-
ing for the library periodicals and clippings, by the purchase of profes-
sional books and pamphlets, and by making available the bulletins of
other libraries. If an interesting item of library news comes to the
librarian, he should share it with his fellow-workers. • If grievances
occur between members of the staff, the librarian should hear the state-
ments of both sides, and then be as just as possible in his decision.
The librarian has a right to expect loyalty from his co-workers in the
library. If he is of so peculiar a nature that it is impossible to be loyal
to him, then it is best to resign. It doesn't help matters to discuss him
and his idiosyncracies. It gives a librarian a strange feeling to come
upon two assistants engaged in a low-toned conversation which ceases
immediately upon his approach. It is scarcely necessary to say that
neither librarian nor assistant should spend his leisure hours in such a
manner as to unfit him for clear-headed work the next day.
Assistants should talk up the library in their intercourse with outside
friends, not in a forced manner, but with the habitual attitude of trying
to bring out the favorable side of the work and its aims. If there are
criticisms, they can be made at staff meetings or personally in a con-
structive manner. Perhaps the spirit of the assistant toward her work
can best be illustrated by the story of a man who, passing along the
street observed three workmen, each of whom was engaged in doing
exactly the same work as the other. To the first he said, "My man,
what are you doing?" "Oh, I'm working for six dollars and a half a
day." To the second he said, "And what are you doing?" "I am
carrying bricks to the brick-layer." To the third, he put the same
question. He replied, "I am helping to build a great cathedral."
In case of illness, the assistant owes it to the library to have the
librarian notified as promptly as possible of the disability. The higher
and more responsible the position, the more essential this becomes.
An incident occurred at one time in an eastern library that had none
too large a staff, where an assistant's sister became seriously ill, and
required the care and the presence of her sister. A mutual friend of
the sisters was employed in the same library. She left her position and
remained with her friends during the illness, and shared in the care of
the sick one. Was the second assistant justified in absenting herself
and by so doing doubly handicapping the library, because of the tie of
friendship? There is no question that it was the duty of the sister to
remain at home, but it would seem that the second absence was not
warrantable.
Unless there be some special reason, assistants ought not to resign
when the work is heaviest or the weather hottest, or just after a vaca-
tion has been enjoyed. It is very disillusioning. If a liberal sick
leave is granted, one should not be unnecessarily slow in recovering.
It may embarrass the librarian very gravely with his board or with the
public. To the honor of the profession, it is very seldom that such a
thing occurs. Library workers are much more prone to return too soon
after an illness, rather than to prolong recovery, yet it does sometimes
happen otherwise. If one is granted leave of absence for some special
reason, the privilege should not be abused by using the time entirely in
seeking a new and better position. It is one thing to obtain an assistant
VOl. 16, no. 2] PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. 127
for temporary employment and quite another to find the right person
for a permanent position. If an assistant thinks that she may not
return, she should be frank and say so when accepting her leave of
absence.
There should be no assumed barrier between the librarian and his
assistants to prevent their coming to him freely with their problems
or with suggestions. Cooperation is as fine a thing in the library as in
a factory or business house. Due credit should be given assistants for
valuable suggestions made as to time-saving devices and records, and
other improvements in the detail work of the library. All such sugges-
tion should be encouraged and given careful consideration. They may
prove of great value.
Proper conditions for all workers as regards light, ventilation, heat,
height of desks, chairs, arrangement of hours,31 and all those details which
make for comfort in the day's work, should be given due attention, as a
matter of business, and not as a matter of courtesy.
"How sweet and gracious even in common speech,
Is that fine sense which men call courtesy !
Wholesome as air and genial as the light,
Welcome in every clime as breath of flowers,
It transmutes aliens into trusting friends,
And gives its owner passport round the globe."

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS FOR LIBRARIES FROM THE POINT
OF VIEW OF THE LIBRARY ASSISTANT.*
By Mrs Lavina B. Kirkman Penley, Book Orders Assistant,
Pomona Public Library.
Professional ethics may be denned as rules of practice in respect to a
single class of human actions and duties. When one considers library-
ethics he finds that one of the definitions given for ethics fits as well, —
Man's duty in respect to himself and the rights of others. I was told
that I might seem to be taking sides in a question controversial in
nature. It seems to me in looking it over, that there should be but one
side, although it is possible to vieAV that side from different angles.
I shall try to give you the viewpoint of the assistant ; a composite picture
as it were made from expressions of eight other people now on the staff
of the Pomona Public Library, and from the impression I have received
from thirty or more assistants with whom I have worked or associated
during the past fourteen years. The picture will be fairly representa-
tive, except as to sex, since these assistants came from the East, the
West, the Middle West, and the Pacific states; from colleges, high
schools, library schools, large and small libraries, from business and the
home.
In presenting a possible code of ethics for libraries considered from
the standpoint of assistants, let us first consider their ideas as to what is
expected from them or rather, what they believe they should give to the
library as an institution, to the librarian and to others of the staff.
Assistants should bear in mind that they are public servants, and that
they are paid from public funds. In other than public libraries the
same general condition is true.
We will assume that the assistant has interest in library work, for
without interest the library assistant would not exist, since no induce-
ments of easy work, high salaries, or fame are held out. One should
consider the library as an opportunity for self-education, for personal
development along all lines and for work with and for people. It may
even be considered as a chance to work through others, for often a
success in life is owed to the help received in the library. A library
worker must have a genuine interest in reading and a real love and
sympathy for people ; and certainly tact and a sense of humor are needed
to help one over the rough places. No lack of an adequate salary or
recognition should prevent an assistant from doing his best ; nor should
a personal dislike of any member of the staff or head affect either the
quantity or quality of one's work. Pride in the library as a part of
civic life is essential to good work.
To the librarian the assistants owe a desire to learn and a willingness
to be taught ; two very different qualities. Sometimes this is impossible,
especially in matters' relating to the public. Assistants usually are as
well acquainted with the needs of the public and its desires, as is the
librarian, and their combined knowledge of the community is often
greater. People speak more freely to assistants than to librarians.
Now if this knowledge is made available to the library, it does not

vol. 16, 110. 2] PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. 129
lessen the authority of the librarian, and does tend to stimulate and
increase the interest of the staff.
What do members of the staff owe one another? Tolerance and a
kindly spirit of give and take, and an agreement to disagree when neces-
sary. The shirker, the responsibility shifter, as well as the one who
always blames another, have no place on a library staff. Jealousy,
whose green eyes shine as brightly in a library as elsewhere, should at
least wear blinders. Nothing so affects one's health, and so the quality
of one's work, as dissension and inharmony in the staff. Sometimes this
is caused by friction between members of the staff, and frequently it is
caused by what the assistants believe to be unfair discrimination on the
part of the chief, either for or against one or more members of the
staff. There is a place on the smallest and largest staff for every variety
of temperament and talent, but temper may safely be left for the enjoy-
ment of one's family.
Assistants are mostly women, and they do say that women can not
look at things except in a personal manner. If this is true it may
account for the fact that library assistants do not always realize their
ideals. If, however, a fair average is maintained, what may assistants
expect from the librarian, the library as represented by the trustees and
their fellow- workers 1 From others on the staff one can hardly expect
more than one is willing to give. At any rate all should be willing to
do their best, regardless of what others do.
What may assistants reasonably expect from the trustees? I would
say, three things : Sufficient interest in the library to know what a
library is for, and what some of the qualifications essential to a really
good assistant are ; then action in accord with this knowledge. If an
assistant is to study and obtain as many advantages from school as
possible, if reading and recreation are to form parts of the assistant's
life, then an adequate salary should be provided to make such things
possible. No salary is sufficient which does not permit of a reserve fund
for school and emergencies. Neither is a salary adequate which does not
permit a person to live away from home. The fact that one may not
leave a plaoe on account of family reasons or climatic conditions should
not influence the Board to offer a low salary. If the Board of Trustees
does not live up to its privilege to help raise the library profession to
a more dignified plane, then the librarian should present the case of
higher salaries to the Board. "Failing that, the assistants themselves
should petition the trustees for deserved increases and the establishment
of a suitable minimum wage. However, most assistants prefer that
their communication with the Board should be in the nature of
"thank you's." The Board should investigate all differences between
the librarian and staff, and not allow the librarian to act as jury and
judge, as one member of the staff aptly phrased it.
From the librarian each member of the staff may expect full informa-
tion as to positions on the staff and possible advancement. Due allow-
ance should be made for the fact that often the librarian can give no
information. Librarians should inform their assistants of positions in
other libraries which might be of interest to them, and should do noth-
ing to hinder their accepting or obtaining such positions. Assistants
expect kindly tolerance from the librarian for their crude efforts when
beginning library work, and expect appreciation and recognition when
330 NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA "LIBRARIES. [April, 1921
further up the ladder. What is the trait assistants most admire in a
librarian? Sincerity. The sincere librarian will be the fair one, the
one who advances no one for religious, political or personal reasons.
The fair-minded and sincere librarian is the one who will have the
loyalty of the staff. These qualities obtain and keep the respect of
people even when their possessor has other qualities not so desirable.
Every assistant has the right to expect advancement in the library to
more responsible positions when capable of taking them and they are
available. The ideal condition is that each person may have a chance
to work in every department of the library in order to obtain a bird's-
eye view of its activities. If an assistant gives satisfaction in a depart-
ment of the library, no demotion should occur for the purpose of giving
an untrained and inefficient person a position of responsibility. One
Pomona assistant differed on this point and felt that demotions should
take place in order to give juniors a chance to try their wings. Juniors
and seniors might work along together, the juniors preparing themselves
to take more responsible positions when opportunity offered. These
opinions are all from the standpoint of people employed in a library
not governed by civil service rules. Due allowance should be made for
differences in conditions which exist in libraries of varying sizes.
A schedule flexible enough to permit of occasional changes in hours
for both business and pleasure, goes a long way toward making a happy
and contented group of workers. There need be no fear that one
member of the staff will take an unfair advantage ; the others on the
staff will soon settle that question for themselves. The assistant is a
really valuable part of a library's equipment as well as a necessity, if
permitted and encouraged to feel himself or herself a real part of the
library. Some years ago the assistant was the butt of newspaper
jokes and was commonly referred to in library publications as the
"stupid assistant". Now some intrepid soul has suggested that all
library employees be called librarians, with the head of the institution
designated as head or chief librarian. The librarian owes the assistant
criticism, constructive if possible, and administered personally and pri-
vately. Blanket criticism never touches the conceited and wounds the
sensitive needlessly.
As to resignations and notices, it would seem at first glance that
there need never be a disagreement between librarians and assistants.
If an assistant accepts a position in a library merely as a stop-gap until
a better one may be obtained and intends to look for another position
while holding the first, that fact should be made known to the librarian
Avhen taking the position. Such an assistant might reasonably expect
to receive a request for a resignation at any time and might be expected
to give shorter notice, when leaving than other.
The transient library worker should state when accepting a position
that many and varied experiences are desired rather than a permanent
position. Such a statement might eliminate many seeming injustices
to resident workers. The person who is employed temporarily to fill
the place of an employee absent on leave, or employed to fill a vacancy
to be supplied later when a more desirable person applies, should be told
that when accepting the position. No requests for resignations should
be made without stating causes. How long a period of probation should
last, is a question for discussion. No one can do satisfactory work in a
VOl. 16, no. 2] PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. 131
state of uncertainty as to how long employment is to last. One member
of the staff suggested a year; a plan similar to a teacher's contract to
be adopted. Personally, I can not feel that it would be fair to an
assistant to keep him from a more desirable position should one offer,
nor on the other hand for the library to be obliged to keep a wholly
undesirable person for a year. We all realize that some very unusual
circumstance might arise which would make all these points very easy
to settle.
No assistant can be so important to any library, unless it is a very
small one, as is employment to the assistant, so it would be fair that the
assistant should always receive a longer notice than required to give.
Mathematically this may not be demonstrable, but ethically I am sure
it is correct. Resignations have sometimes been given on very short
notice, because the assistant fears that the matter may not be held in
confidence by the librarian, and more often the fear that the librarian
may give unfair treatment has influenced an assistant to withhold the
information. Pomona assistants agree that at least four weeks' notice
should be given, and longer if possible, unless illness or the chance of
]osing a very unusual opportunity would make that impossible. If all
libraries had practically the same requirements, then no unfairness
would result for either library, the one losing or the one acquiring the
assistant.
All applications for positions should be made directly to the librarian
but in case the trustees pass on the applications, the librarian and the
applicant should certainly have the chance to size up each other. Under
no circumstances should the application be made through one's librarian
to another. I doubt if the practice of having a Board member put in a
good word for one is desirable. Having the personal recommendation
of any member of the Board might unduly influence the librarian and
prejudice the staff. On the other hand, when applying for a position
in another place the recommendation of the Board or some member
of the Board should accompany that of the librarian. Perhaps the
thought that one had also to take a recommendation from the rest of
the staff might govern one's conduct toward fellow- workers. A pros-
pective employer would not feel justified in employing anyone whose
recommendations were too guarded or overfulsome. It might help in
forming an estimate of a person to have the opinion of three different
people or groups of people.
William AYinter says that the tendency of the human mind is to sum-
marize ; that almost every person likes to hear and likes to make compre-
hensive and positive statements upon all subjects of thought or knowl-
edge. Then to summarize : How can we best fit our definition of
Ethics — Man's duty to himself and the rights of others — to the library
profession ? The assistant should always give the best service possible,
should make every effort to fit himself for better work, should be fair to
the chief and the library in the matter of giving notice. The librarian
and the trustees should give encouragement, inspiration, and compensa-
tion both as to salary and recognition.
And finally, to quote Schwab, — The best soldier of the common good
is not necessarily the one who performs the most brilliant exploit. He
is the one who goes furthest in inspiring the whole gang to do its best.

The resignation of Mr Henry Gemmer,
trustee of the Alameda Free Library, has
been accepted by Mayor Otis, because of
Mr Gemmer's removal from the city.
His successor has not yet been appointed.
Mrs Elsie Reedy resigned as a member
of the library staff March 16, 1921. Mrs
Reedy is leaving to make her home in
Glendale, California. Theodora Larsen
has been appointed Junior Assistant on
the staff.
The library is allowed a generous
amount of space in the Alameda Munic-
ipal Journal, which will be issued quar-
terly, instead of monthly as in the past.
The purpose of the journal is to keep the
citizens of Alameda in touch with the
activities of the various departments. The
library department has been requested to
fill its columns with material bearing on
library subjects and with reviews of
recently acquired books.

the new building with the Librarian, Mr

and drew attention to some unique fea-
tures of the building, after which tea was
served by the Stanford Library Staff.
On March 29 the same students were
guests of Miss Mary Barmby, Librarian
of Alameda County Free Library, and
were given an automobile drive through
the county, this being so arranged that
various types of branches and stations
were visited. A delightful lunch made-
the trip as pleasant as it was profitable.
This- class also paid a visit on April 2 to
the bindery of Foster and Futernick, San
Francisco, this being a regular part of the
instruction in bookbinding given by Mr
Frank M. Bumstead.
Miss Louise Krause, who came to Cali-
fornia to give special instruction in busi-
ness libraries at the Riverside Library
Service School, spent a week here and
gave a series of six lectures on her special
field. Her talks were not only of great
value to our students but were appre-
ciated by librarians from this vicinity who
profited by the fact that they could attend
them.
Early in March advantage was taken
of a visit from Miss Mary F. Downey to
have her tell the students about her organ-
ization work in Utah. Later in the month
Mr Eugene Sommer, one of the best
known book men in the Bay region and
now owner of the Sather Gate Book Shop,
Berkeley, discussed with the senior class
the cooperation of library and bookseller.
Mr Sommer's many years of experience in
dealing with the library trade made this
very much to the point. Professor Samuel
J. Hume, Director of the Greek Theater,
gave two lectures on the literature and
technique of the drama, a subject of live
interest in these days.

has returned to the staff. She was for
nearly two years with the American Red

at Headquarters in Paris.
The contract for repairs necessitated by
the recent fire at Alden was awarded to
Alfred Olson. The branch was open to
the public from 1 to 4 p. m. daily during
January and February, while repairs were
being made, and March 1, returned to
full time schedule from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.
The loss was $1555. Only S4 books were
totally destroyed.
Another fire, similar to that at Alden,
also caused by defective furnace piping,
occurred at the 23d Avenue Branch,
March 21. It is probable that a change
in the heating system will have to be
made at -Alden, Golden Gate and 23d
Avenue, as a result of these fires.
The assistants in the branch libraries
are -meeting once a month in the Branch
Department to talk over their work with
the Chief of the Department, and for the
next few months, to study the history of
children's literature and elementary cata-
loging. Assigned topics for study during
the month at the branch will, it is hoped,
add to the value of these meetings.
The Library Board has made a first
payment of $499 on the Rabe Ethnologi-
cal Collection of the South Sea Islands,
which has been on loan exhibit at the
Museum since 1914. The balance of
$1301 will be paid in the next fiscal year.
Mr Raymond T. Baker, Director of the
Mint, has presented the Museum with a
complete file of "Inaugural Medals," be-
ginning with George Washington. They
are of high artistic merit as well as of
historical value. A special case for them
is in the making.

International Branch located in the for-
eign district of Fresno City in the Insti-
tute of the Y..W. C. A., has been fortunate
in a worker lately added to the staff of
the institute. Mrs Becker has done much
for the German women of the district,
organizing them and providing them with
the social diversions that their children
already enjoy through public schools,
library, and the Y. W. C. A., thus bridg-
ing the gulf that widens between the two
generations. At the third meeting of the
Mothers' Club, Miss Learned, branch
librarian, gave a lecture illustrated with
lantern slides of Germany, Prussia, Aus-
tria, as well as New York City, choosing
those that would be of greatest interest
to her hearers. After the showing of the
pictures the branch librarian talked for
a few moments in the interest of the
library and the possibilities of its serving
the community as well as the children and
young people, who are the patrons of the
International Branch. Considerable in-
terest was shown and about thirty mothers
took library cards. Two other lectures
besides this one have been given by Miss
FRESNO CO. — Continued.
Learned to the juvenile members of her
branch.
Another branch in the foreign district
is Center, located in the beautiful new
home of the Y. W. C. A. for this section
of the town. Several illustrated lectures
and book talks have been given there by
staff members of the Fresno library.
Miss English, head of the school depart-
ment, talked to the Business Girls' Club
at one of their banquets about the books
on the list prepared by the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Richardson, children's librarian, gave
an "Evening with Books" to the younger
girls of Center. These talks bring results
in the demand for the books discussed.
The girls leave school at such an early
age that it takes persuasion to interest
them in books. Miss Learned also gave
an illustrated lantern lecture on "Mothers
and Daughters' Night," one of the girls
acting as interpreter in German.
At Kirk Branch two talks have been
given to the newly organized P. T. A. by
Miss Learned of that branch, which is lo-
cated in the German community entirely.
At California Field Branch located in
the Armenian section of Fresno, much
interest has been shown by the teachers
of the school, in the library. The children
have been brought by groups and Miss
Chatfield has shown them the use of the
library and its tools. The ungraded
classes of this school are made up of chil-
dren unable as yet to' speak English.
The school department has been very
busy during this quarter. Miss English
spoke at Magnolia School on Americaniza-
tion. Three days were spent at Riverdale
cataloging the high school library. Nearly
all the districts, except the summer
schools, have been visited.
The branches at Conejo and Riverdale
have been rearranged, stock taken and a
general going-over of the books has been
given. New shelving has been put in the
Fowle.' Branch and the books rearranged.
During the quarter branches were es-
tablished in the Butler and Garfield school
districts. The San Joaquin Branch was
re-established October 1, 1920.
In January we held the annual Custo-
dians' Meeting at the main library. There
was a full attendance in spite of the wet
day and a very interesting program was
given by the staff members and the cus-

hope to build up a good one as fast as
funds allow. Our student body numbers
about 1500 this term. All the freshmen
are at the intermediate schools. My big-
gest problem is free textbooks.

Glass came from Madera to join us. I

In a letter from Miss Reagan received

interesting story about the California
Highway Commission Day Labor Camp
No. 309 (Convict Camp), Branch, men-
tioned above : After recounting the diffi-
culties of getting in touch with the camp
by letter, she says "Mr Strahan (Mrs
Bacon's brother-in-law) who is visiting
here volunteered to go up to the camp for
me and carry the personal word. He
went by stage as far as Korbel and then
from there by truck and by foot the re-
mainder of the distance. The roads are
impassable by any other means. The
trucks only go about seven miles beyond
Korbel and then everything has to be
taken in by pack animal. Mr Strahan
traveled through snow and mud but
reached the camp the first night. He
found the men all eager for reading mat-
ter. Mr Kester, the welfare man, was
willing- for the men to have the books, and
a man who had inquired about such

service at one of the branches will take
care of them. He sent out calls to all
the men that someone was there to tell
them about the library and to take a list
of requests. The men came in eagerly
and I am giving a few of the requests for
I think it is most remarkable. An ency-
clopedia, new or old just to settle their
disputes on many subjects discussed,
mainly specimens they pick up in and
about the camp ; Scientific American ency-
clopedia of formulas ; Principles of econ-
nomics, Taussig ; Foreign and domestic
exchange ; Life of Roosevelt ; Plutarch's
lives : Greek mythology ; Books on poul-
try and hogs ; Electricity ; Steam engines ;
Flora and fauna of California ; Sea shells
and fish ; and then some Western stories.
I did not list all that they wished but
wanted you to have an idea of the oppor-
tunities there. I am quite excited about
it. I will get things to them just as soon
as possible which will be next week."

We are trying out an experiment in
the Humboldt State Normal School Li-
brary this year. Or at least we are told
that it is an experiment and that no other
Normal School in the state has ventured
into the same field. As for ourselves, we
are so sure of its success that we don't
regard as experimental the arrangement
with the County Library by which we are
getting service for our Training School on
the same basis as the other elementary
schools of the county do. We expect to
effect economies of money, of time, and of
administration and to get increased effi-
ciency and service. Our own library will
be held intact for the Normal School and
conducted just as before, as a professional
school library, while all service for the
Training School comes through the
County Library.
We feel also that this affords a demon-
stration school for the prospective teacher
where she can find out just what kind of
library service is possible for her school,
and where she will learn not to be con-
tent with any makeshift for it. The
library has set as a standard "County

$132.31. This was merely the casual con-
tributions given at the library. During
the same period, much larger sums were
raised in the city through other agencies.
The library is now sending books regu-
larly to the Seaside hospital. Mrs Ethel-
ene Kitching, who is in charge of stations,
visits the hospital once a week and makes
the rounds of the wards with a book
truck. The service is much appreciated.
A new station has been opened in the
Long Beach Steam Laundry. The em-
ployees have elected a library committee,
who cooperate with the library in select-
ing the books and caring for them.
The library has for some time placed
posters in the jitneys. The Gaylord pos-
ters are used, and the service costs $10
a month. Thousands must see these pos-
ters ; and while it is difficult to trace the
result of such advertising, it probably has
an effect. The City National Bank has
offered the library space on the front page
of a Bulletin that it distributes to its cus-
tomers. Every month we list there about
half a dozen of the new books 0'. commer-
cial and economic subjects, and sometimes
add notes about the business magazines in
the library.
Miss Muriel Wright, who has charge
of our special book exhibits, tried the ex-
periment of filling the display shelves,
for two or three weeks, with groups of
three books, fastened together with a rub-
ber band. On the front of each bundle
was a large colored card, reading "A Bal-
anced ration : a book of amusement ; a
book of inspiration ; a book of informa-
tion." In each package, usually, would
be a story ; a book of pure literature or
ethics ; and a book of travel or science.
A fair number of these packages was
taken out, and we think some readers may
have learned that they could take other
books than fiction. As the packages dis-
appeared, new ones were made up. A
very popular exhibit was marked "Best

The Librarian and Board of Directors
are working with the utmost zeal to have
bonds for a central library building placed
on the May or June ballots. April 1, the
Board of Directors appeared before the
City Council and made a strong and
earnest plea for this urgent civic need.
The question was referred by the Presi-
dent of the Council to a special committee
for the consideration of all bond issues,
consisting of Conncilmen Mallard, Parmer
and Criswell. Dodd and Richards, archi-
tects, out of friendship for the Public
Library drew up proposed plans for the
new building. The exterior of their design
appeared on the cover of the March
bull-tin.
Foster & Kleiser, the largest bill board
company of Los Angeles, donated $1,125
worth of poster space for the Library's
building campaign. Fifty twenty-four
sheet posters bearing the slogan "Own
Your Own Public Library" have been
posted in different parts of the city.
Mr. Frank H. Pettingell, who, since
1916. has been an earnest and enthusiastic
member of the Los Angeles Library Board,
was reappointed December 31 for another
term of four years.
Five hundred and fifty photographs of
local interest have been purchased for use
in the Reference Department in connec-
tion with the local historical collection.
The pictures are of three different classes :
the California missions, Los Angeles in
early days and Los Angeles as it is today.
Those of the missions make a very com-
plete collection, showing the different
missions in various states of preserva-
tion from early days to the present.
When the pictures are mounted and
cataloged, they may be borrowed by
branches for exhibits.
Miss Kostomlatsky, formerly connected
with -the Seattle and Portland public
libraries, is assisting in the Reference
Department each afternoon. She will
teach in the University of California
Library School next summer.

Miss Kimberly, head of the Registration
and Loan Department for nearly two
years, has resigned, her resignation going
into effect February 1. Miss McCrea,
who succeeds Miss Kimberly as head of
the department, comes from New York
where she has been in the library war
service of the American Library Associa-
tion for the past year, having closed the
book department of the New York office
before leaving. Previous to that she was
'n the American Red Cross service over-
seas, returning a little over a year ago,
and entering the American Library Asso-
ciation war service first in Washington
and then in New York. Mrs Hook (Anna
Marie Rusche L. S. 1914) has been taking
Mrs Russell's place as children's librarian
at Central Avenue Branch.
The School and Teachers Department
of the Public Library has been having a
reries of exhibits showing handwriting
from the grade schools. The work of two
schools has been shown each week and has
created much rivalry and enthusiasm
between both the teachers and school
children.
A recent event of especial interest at
Hollywood Branch Library was the
exhibit of children's illustrators. This
was held by the American Federation of
Arts in the auditorium of the Library
February 8-21. During that time about
six hundred children and a third as many
adults attended the exhibit. The schools
were encouraged to send children on cer-
tain days and the pictures were studied.
Each child was asked to choose his
favorite picture and give the reason for
his choice. The Library will buy the most
popular, Raeburn's "Boy with the
Rabbit," and four of the pictures chosen
will be given for the Children's room by
the Art Association. Miss Virginia
Graeff told picture stories to the children
on three afternoons. In the exhibit were
Medici prints by Raeburn and Reynolds,
original illustrations by Elizabeth Shippen
Green and reproductions of pictures by
Jessie Willcox Smith, John Alexander,
Maxfield Parrish, Edwin Abbey and
Manet. Some hand work in wood and
silver was also shown. An interesting-
series of fireside readings from Celtic liter-
ature has been given .at the Hollywood

A new system in making children's
reading lists has been devised, to enlist
the children's interest and to give them
opportunity to make the lists themselves.
Packets of four books are sent out to the
various schools both by the main library
and the branches ; the teacher may choose
her own method of presenting the books
and having annotations made, but she is
to furnish a note for each book she
receives. Judges will be appointed by the
department from among the teachers and
librarians involved, who will choose the
best notes. These notes will be used in
making up the new lists of vacation
reading.
Mrs Clara Vondrosky Winlow, Princi-
pal of the Foreign Extension Department,
has been asked to assist the Los Angeles

their Arts and Crafts Exhibit of the

tion Park, May 16 to June 6.
A remarkably successful Mexican ex-
hibit was held under the auspices of the
Foreign Extension Department. The ex-
hibit attracted wide attention and brought
splendid returns. There are 60,000 Mexi-
cans living in Los Angeles, and very
many of them were reached through the
exhibit. They felt warmly appreciative
of the library's interest in them and each
one who had some little thing to con-
tribute to the exhibit was eager to do his
bit. Pottery, carved bone chessmen,
embroideries, and wood carving were
brought even from Mexico for the occasion
and social workers, women's clubs and
artists showed much interest in the work
of the littlerappreciated Mexicans.
The Registration and Loan Department
at the request of the Library Board sent
out special borrowers cards to all city
officials and members of commissions.
The Science and Industry Department
has been having a series of interesting dis-
plays of wild flowers, brought in by mem-
bers of the Botanical section of the
Southern California academy of sciences.
Each exhibit is labeled by the person
bringing it with the scientific name, the
common name, and the habitat.

The San Pedro Branch of the Los
Angeles Public Library recently received
a beautiful collection of sea shells, the gift
of Mr R. H. Tremper of Ontario. The
San Pedro Chamber of Commerce donated
a case to hold this valuable collection.
Through the excellent and untiring
efforts of the librarian, Miss Markham,
the Wilmington Branch has attained such
practical value in the life of that commu-
nity that the Chamber of Commerce
requested the Library Board of Directors
to extend the library quarters to take in
the whole second floor of the City Hall.
This extra space has been donated by the
Board of Public Works and the Library
will fit it up at once to meet the urgent
need for expansion.

The Southern California Edison Com-
pany Library, although not saying much
about it in your columns, has been active
and growing — like the well-known weed.
The last two years have seen an increase
in use of more than one hundred and fifty
per cent, which estimate includes circula-
tion, number of readers and reference
work. The book and pamphlet collection,
now numbering about 2200, has not in-
creased so rapidly. Recent accessions
have been mainly books on general busi-
ness— letter writing, indexing and filing,
salesmanship, advertising, business effi-
ciency, etc. Increased interest is shown
by requests from outlying substations
located all over the southern part of the
state, over a thir,d of our borrowers being
outside the central office building which
houses the library and some three hun-
dred and fifty employees.
We also wish to correct a mistake which
has somehow been made as to the
librarian. In the January number of

Frances Hoyt Ford was stated to be
librarian, but such is not the case. Miss

This library has borrowed the "Good
Book" card idea from the Los Angeles
Public Library, and is nmch pleased with
its success. The plan works as well for
miscellaneous books as for fiction. As
everybody knows, the plan is to tag
selected books with bright cards bearing

During the quarter we have changed
our charging-system whereby books may
be returned one at a time. Thus, we have
a more frequent change of new books,
owing to the fact that the new book taken
out need not wait for its companion to
be returned with it. So there has been
an increase in the circulation of fiction.
Owing to our new plan of making out
temporary cards for non-fiction we observe
that the circulation of non-fiction books is
increasing. We have been pleased to note
an increased number of strangers making
use of the library and taking out cards.
Our trustees have agreed to purchase

cussions. All present declared it to be a
decided success. At present there are 29
members. At 12.30 Miss Harris, hostess,
took us to the juvenile rooms below where
a George Washington luncheon was served

The Riverside county free library in
eight months of its fiscal year predicts
the largest annual increase in circulation.
The increase for the year is about 16 per
cent with about 90' branches and stations
in operation. The increase of mainte-
nance for the Riverside public library,
which is also the county free library, from
about $23,000 last year to about $33,000
this year is quite necessary to take care of
added business.
Plans are nearly completed for a
$30,000 addition to the main building of
the Riverside public library. The large
building to the east known as the Allatt,
will be remodeled for library school pur-
poses - exclusively .
For the information of those who are
interested in the Dorothy Daniels Mem-
orial we give the title of the collection
of books : Books for Children op
Today and Those of Long Ago. The
basis of the collection now contains
about two hundred and fifty volumes of
illustrated books for children, modern
publications, and a collection of toy books,
horn books, chap books and books for
children of the Eighteenth and early Nine-
teenth centuries. It contains also some

Southern Sierras Power Co. Library.
Miss Ellen Benfer, Lib'n.
Such a good article concerning this par-
ticular business library recently appeared
in one of the Riverside papers that we
are printing it entire. It follows :
Have you ever visited a business li-
brary? .Probably not, for in the entire
United States there are but 300, and
one of those is in Riverside, in the South-
ern Sierras Power company offices on
Eighth street.
In the library are concentrated all news-
papers, magazines and books on matters
of interest and importance to employes of
the company. Thirty-five newspapers
from territories covered by the Southern
Sierras company and associated companies
in Nevada and California come to the
library. These are read through care-
fully, and items of interest or of value to
the company are clipped. These items are
then circulated through the offices and
when returned to the library are filed for
reference.
The purpose of the library is to fur-
nish specific information to those who
want it, and statistical reports, addresses,
company reports, and material of every
kind are kept filed.
Technical magazines form an important
part of the library. Thirty-nine maga-
zines, some weekly and others monthly,
are received at the library, and these are
circulated through the offices to the men
who wish to read them. The librarian,
Miss Ellen Benfer, keeps a card catalogue
of magazines, and each magazine is filed
by card. A list of men who wish that par-
ticular magazine is kept, and each issue
is sent to them.
Information files contain pamphlet
material and clippings. These are filed
according to subject matter, and cover
152

Riverside — Continued,
practically every subject connected in any
way with the work of the company. A
file of trades catalogues is also kept, and
this is indexed. Music for the company
orchestra is also filed here.
An interesting file is the one which
contains all the advertisements of the
company. Each "ad" is numbered, and
a list of papers throughout the state in
which the "ad" appears is kept and
checked. As a copy of the paper is
received, it is checked off and a record
made of the date on which the advertise-
ment appeared. The "ads" are then filed
in order.
Technical and reference books to the
number of 290 are found in the Southern
Sierras library. When books are charged
out a card is placed under the name of
the borrower, and a second card filed
under the name of the author of the book
and the title. In this way the work of
keeping check of the books is simplified.
There is no time limit on either books or
magazines.
While the Press reporter was being
almost overcome by the huge possibilities
of the company library this morning, one
of the girls from upstairs came down with
the request that the librarian look up the
matter of the part-time school. A new
messenger was needed, it seems, and they
wished to get someone old enough to be
above part-time school age limit. Immedi-
ately the librarian looked the matter up
and calmly continued her conversation.
The library is in charge of Miss Ben-
fer, who graduated from the Riverside
Library school in 1920. She has been
librarian of the company library since
her completion of the library course and
attended the company library part of the
time before then. The library is under
the office managers department. Employes
of the company who want certain books
in the library may fill out requisition
blanks, which are approved by department
heads, sent to the library, and then bought
through the purchasing department.
Miss Louise Kemp, graduate of the
Riverside library school, started the li-
brary in the Southern Sierras company.
In April, 1919, she made a survey of
all books and magazines owned by the
company, and after much work, completed

the classification of material. Sugges-
tions for new books and additional periodi-
cals were made, and later the company
library was an established part of the
company. A small room in the basement
of the building was set apart for the
library. At present the work has grown
so that a room three times the size of the
first one is used. The new room has been
used since June, 1920.
The need of the business library is not
growth in numbers so much as growth in
service. Dead material must be weeded
out, and new material added. The busi-
ness library must be up-to-date in every
way, in order to serve the company.
This morning 25 members of the library
school visited the Southern Sierras insti-
tution. Miss Louise Krause, teacher of
the class, has just completed a four-week's
course in business libraries in the school
and the visit this morning was to see a
business library in operation. Miss
Krause herself is librarian of Byllesby
company of Chicago, an electrical com-
pany controlling plants in all parts of the
country. — Riverside Press, Mr 16

During the quarter, two branches which
had been disestablished for lack of custo-
dianship have been re-established, and two
new branches established. Freeport, dis-
established July 1, 1920, was re-estab-
lished January 6, in the home of Mrs

selves as being very pleased over the
restoration of the two branches, the ser-
vices of which had been greatly missed.
On March 5, a branch was established in
the home of Mrs Wm. McEnerny, of the
Brown District, and is known as the
Brown Branch, Mrs McEnerny acting as
custodian without compensation. On
March 23, a branch for the use of the
nurses was established in the County Hos-
pital, Miss G. G. Grey, Superintendent
of Nurses, acting as custodian. The first
shipment sent contained professional and
reference books for the use of the nurses,
as well as recreational reading. For a
long time, books have been sent to the
Folsom State Prison upon request but
on March 7, through the efforts of Mr
L. Y. Leonard, Farm Adviser of Sacra-
mento County, a regular branch was es-
tablished, which will be added to and
enlarged as the resources of the library
permit. The County Librarian feels under
great obligation to Mr Leonard for his
efforts in securing the establishment of
this important branch. A branch was
established in the Center joint school dis-
trict January 24.
On March 12, the County Librarian, as
President of the California Library Asso-
ciation, attended the meeting of the Sixth
District of the California Library Asso-
ciation at Santa Ana, and spoke upon the
"Report of the Special Legislative
Committee On Education as it Affects
the Libraries of the State." At the
invitation of the Farm Bureau, she also
spoke at Modena, Orange County, on the
evening of March 14, upon the same sub-
ject, and upon the subject of the county
library system as a whole. On February
21, at the invitation of the Monday
Club of Oroville, the County Librarian
addressed the Club on "The Poetry of
Rudyard Kipling," and enjoyed very
greatly the hospitality of the Club, and
of the County Librarian of Butte County,
Miss Essae Culver. During the quarter,
the County Librarian has delivered
twelve addresses upon various subjects
and before various organizations.

Todd School District Branch was re-
opened after having been suspended last
year. Miss Katherine Dunphy is the cus-
todian. Morongo Branch was discontin-
ued January 6. Borosolvay general
branch was withdrawn in March on ac-
count of the Solvay Process Company
-.-losing its plant at Borosolvay. Most of
the books at the general branch were
transferred to the Trona Branch, which is
near Borosolvay on Searles Lake.
Mrs J. A. Butler is the new custodian
at Cima, having taken charge of the
branch there January 17. The branch at
Hesperia, owing to the death of Judge
Finnegan, the custodian, was moved from
his office February 1 to the store and post-
office where it is in charge of Miss Veriel
Walters. Mrs W. L. Carter is the new
custodian at Needles, having taken charge
of the branch there January 1, at the
time Mrs H. B. Hartop resigned.
The branch at Bloomington was moved
from the one-room building which it was
occupying to a room in the schoolhouse
and an additional bookcase provided the
branch to accommodate a greater number
of books needed owing to the growth of
the branch. The move was a desirable
one as the schoolhouse is used as a com-
munity center. During the quarter, the
reading room at the Daggett Branch was
fitted up with a table, chairs, rug, and
new bookcase furnished by the County
Library. A reading room was opened at
Trona January 19, 1921 and the branch
library re-organized with Mrs Mabel W.
Howard as custodian. New bookcases
were provided by the County Library to

gifts from the public and is in charge of
the American Red Cross Social Service
Department of the Hospital under the
supervision of the County Free Library.
The County Free Library supplies maga-
zine subscriptions to the reading room and
books supplementary to the vocational
educational work. These are sent through
the American Red Cross to the vocational
instructors when the instructors are not
served from headquarters. Additional
shelving both for books and magazines is
being constructed at the hospital, also a
newspaper rack for newspaper files. About
125 disabled war veterans are now at the

Diego gathered informally in the catalog
room of the public library on the evening
of February 9, to meet Miss Zulema Kos-
tomlatsky, formerly the acting librarian
of the public library of Portland, Oregon.
All felt a helpful reaction from the practi-
cal suggestions and quickening ideals of
the Portland system as she discussed them.
On the last day of February, Mr R. R.
Bowker aroused our professional patriot-
ism and ignited much amusement by his
entei'taining memories of library people
and historic American Library Associa-
tion meetings. He spoke for half an hour
at our morning staff meeting.
As usual, the Board of Library Trus-
tees granted time, with pay, to all em-
ployees able to go to the sixth district

With the dedication this month of the
new North Beach Branch and the Presi-
dio Branch, formerly known as the .Fill-
more Branch, a chain of branches has
been completed which has been built with
the money set aside from the Carnegie
donation. The North Beach Branch is
now situated on Powell street between
Washington and Jackson streets, and the
Presidio Branch is on Sacramento be-
tween Baker and Lyon streets.
An examination will be called this
month for candidates to the library ser-
vice.
The Third District of the California
Library Association will hold its next
meeting in the library, Saturday morning,

and borrowers.
During the recent election, an amend-
ment to the City Charter was passed,
granting a pension to city employees.
This will embrace the library staff. Em-
ployees may retire on half-pay after
thirty years continuous service. They
may retire at the age of 62, if they have
been-10 years in the service. They must
retire at 70. In the case of an employee
being incapacitated by accident or illness,
the pension is 'given without regard to age
or length of service. This library is prob-
ably the first on the coast that will be
able to retire its employees with pensions.

During the quarter, the most valuable
deposit received was the Adolph Sutro
letters and written documents covering
the years 1S53 to 1879, placed in the
custody of the Sutro Branch by Dr Emma
L. Merritt. It is to be considered a
confidential deposit until Dr Merritt has
time to look the material through, but,
without doubt, most of it is to become
a part of the Sutro Library. From the
labels on the packages, it is evident that
the material covers all of Adolph Sutro's
principal activities during those years,
and, if so, the material has very g^at
historical value.

SAN FRANCISCO— Continued.
The return from the State Library of
178 volumes of Sutro Library newspapers,
covering early years of the Chronicle and
Examiner, adds greatly to the newspaper
reference material in San Francisco. The
unbound files of California newspapers
which were a part of the Sutro Library,
are being arranged and bound at the
State Library in Sacramento and are
being returned to the Sutro Branch after
they are bound.
Periodical literature on photography for
use through California libraries was
added to very greatly during the quarter
by the gift to the Sutro Branch from the
Camera Craft Publishing Company of San
Francisco, of all files received by that
company in exchange for its publication.
The files include many foreign publica-
tions.

January first, the Manteca Branch was
installed in the City Hall Building with
Mrs Hugh T. Tener in charge. The
library is now open from 3 to 5 daily
and from 7 to 9 Saturday evenings. The
room has been fitted up with closed book-
cases so that it may be used as an assem-
bly hall when needed. The residents of
Manteca have manifested great interest
in the library. Mr C. P. Palm generously
presented the reading room with two large
tables. The Woodbridge Branch has been
moved to the new home of the custodian,
Mrs W. Mitchell, which is situated on
the main thoroughfare. The building was
formerly known as the Woodbridge Inn.
Two large rooms have been provided for
the use of the library, the books being
arranged in the front room, while the
other room, furnished with tables and
chairs, is reserved for readers. Mrs
Florence Clausen was appointed custo-
dian of the French Camp Branch Janu-

A luncheon of the farm home women
was attended at Hotel Stockton. Reports
from the various center chairmen and by
Miss Wills, farm home demonstration
agent, showed the clothing project to be
that of most general interest throughout
the county. The hot school lunch was
the principal topic of the speakers. The

their various branches of study, and the
books purchased especially for their use.

A book display holder, "Have you read
this?-' has been placed on the loan desk
and is proving a wonderful success. So
far only nonfiction books have been
shown.
The high cost of books and the limited
amount of money available for new books,
has made necessary new ways of increas-
ing our income. So a "Rental Collection"
has been established. Fifteen late fiction
were taken as "starters," and placed on a
shelf by themselves. A label, "These
books may be borrowed for 10 cents a
week," was inserted on the inside front
cover of each book. The result was most
satisfying and now late fiction, which
we otherwise would not be able to buy, is
purchased in this way. When these books
have paid or nearly paid for themselves,
they are put on the free shelves.
New stacks have been added to accom-
modate the overflowing shelves in the

Exterior showcases, as a means of at-
tracting new customers to the library,
have been placed on the side-walk-front
within full view of passers-by. That they
are effective is apparent from the contin-
ual requests for books displayed therein,
necessitating frequent replacements. New
applicants, prompted by the display, learn
for the first time what the building is
really used for.
A model No. 78 Edison-Dick mimeo-
graph has been installed, proving a great
asset in getting out advertising matter,
book lists, form letters, etc.
In order to supply more copies of popu-
lar fiction than the regular appropriation
permits, a Duplicate Pay Collection has
been established, from which books may
be borrowed at five cents a week. Some
indication of the feasibility of this plan
is found in the continual and rapid cir-
culation of the entire 150 books as yet
added to this collection.

In February the County Library head-
quarters were changed from the Civic
Club to a much more central location on
the second floor of the Andrews Building,
which is on Monterey just across the
street from the County Court House. The
quarters are commodious enough to allow
for a good many years growth. The
main room is large and attractive, bo
arranged as to be very convenient both
for meeting the public and for the work
of processing and handling the books.
There are besides two smaller rooms, one
a stock and packing room and one a school
text room. Since the move to the down
town district, the change in the number of
visitors has been marked. County officers
and teachers who had no time to go to
the Civic Club come into the library now
as a matter of course. Among the out-of-
town visitors of the past three months
have been Mrs May Dexter Henshall, Sen-
ator Rigdon and Assemblyman Greene.
School branches have been opened at
Bee Rock, at Cuyama and at East Santa

New shelving has been built for the

We occupy three rooms in East Hall,
to which wTe moved (or rather grew again
from the beginning) after the fire that
totally destroyed our library in June,
1915. We expect to have one more room
next school year. We have one profes-
sional librarian and three student assist-
ants, one being on duty for the evening
sessions.
Accessions for the half year just past,
840, as against 671 for the corresponding
semester of last year. Total, 10,640.
Most of these are by purchase, and all of
them desirable, since we do not accept
gifts except with the understanding that
we may dispose of those wo do not wish
to put on our shelves. The books are
nearly all classified and labelled in white
ink. Total borrowings for the semester,
9885, as against 6436 a year ago. The
record would easily have doubled had we
kept track of the use of the bound maga-
zines, which last year were unbound and
hence to be had only by slip. Magazines
bound this semester, 83 volumes ; a year
ago, 82 ; total 518. Magazine list numbers
61, papers 5.
We received with the coming of our
Professor Root, the best collection of
books on the subject of peace in Califor-
nia, the former possession of the Northern
California Peace Society. We will add
to this our new accessions on the subject
of the Leagne of Nations, etc., keeping
this collection unique.
We are now busy with plans for a fine
library building to be erected on our new
campus on the Alameda — it is to be a
memorial to our men who represented us
in the late war.

Mrs M. J. McEwen, Lib'n.
Visalia Free Public Library has given
good service to the community this season.
Attendance in the adult reading room
really exceeds the capacity of the space
allotted for that purpose and the juvenile
attendance has been good. Circulation for
the entire winter has exceeded an average
of 100 books per day and the assistance
given in reference work has exceeded for-
mer experiences. The school pupils have
used the reference books for all kinds of
school problems and the county and state
libraries have been helpful in supplying
scores of special requests.
Additional shelves has been added to the
stacks, enough to shelve from 1000 to
1500 books.
Since January 1, 1921 we have added
by purchase 149 volumes ; 30 of which
were juvenile and 119 adult. In Decem-
ber a full set of the American Nation
Series was accessioned. All these books
have been in active circulation since they
were placed on the shelves. In March we
received from the bindery 125 books which
were immediately returned to circulation.
Our records show an average increase
of 87 new borrowers per month for the
past three months.

DIRECTORY FOR LIBRARY SUPPLIES AND OTHER ITEMS
OF GENERAL INTEREST.
Many public libraries waste a great
deal of time and money before they find
good places to get supplies. The plan is
to give all libraries the benefit of the
experience of the older libraries of the
State by listing under different heads the
houses that have been found to give sat-
isfaction, the names and addresses being
furnished by the older and larger libraries
of California. In this way suggestions
will be given as to where different sorts
of books may be bought, where books may
be rebound or ■ periodicals bound, where
library furniture may be bought, etc.,
both in California and in the East.
If any information is needed about the
firms listed below which can not be ob-
tained from the firms themselves, the
names of the libraries recommending the
different ones will be sent to any library
upon application to the State Library.

TRAINING CLASS INSTRUCTORS,
ATTENTION!
The instructors of training classes in
public libraries are planning to organize in
some formal way, in order to have some
center from which they may distribute
information in regard to such courses of
training. Discussion of the proposed form
of organization will be the main part of
the program at the Round Table to be held
at the A. L. A. Conference at Swampscott
in June.

who wish to be registered with such an
organization, in order to obtain sugges-
tions and help with regard to their
problems, please send their names and
addresses as soon as possible to Miss Julia
A. Hopkins, Chairman of the Round
Table of Training Class Instructors?

Would any library like a set of War of
the Rebellion official records of the Union
and the Confederate armies, published
under the direction of Daniel S. Lamont,
Secretary of War? Palo Alto Public
Library has two sets to dispose of and
would expect transportation paid.

ANNUAL MEETING.
The 26th annual meeting will be held
at Tahoe Tavern, Lake Tahoe, June 13
to 15, 1921.
DISTRICT MEETINGS.
Sixth District Meeting.
The morning of March 12, 1921, was
grey and wet but more than 200 library
workers from all parts of the Sixth Dis-
trict of the California Library Association
found their way to Santa Ana where they
met in the auditorium of the Christian
Church for their annual conference.
At 10 :20 o'clock the meeting was called
to order by the District President, Miss
Jeannette McFadden of the Santa Ana
library. Dr. Ball, President of the Santa
Ana Library Board, gave a short address
of welcome.
Resolutions drawn up by the executive
committee of the California Library Asso-
ciation were presented, urging that the
University of California do everything in
its power to develop a professional school
for librarians at Berkeley. On motion of
Joseph F. Daniels of Riverside, the resolu-
tions were adopted.
Miss Jeannette McFadden was nomi-
nated and elected, as district nominator
from the Sixth District, and Miss Helen
Kennedy was chosen as alternate.
Miss Zaidee Brown of Long Beach ex-
plained a plan for certification of libra-
rians which is to be presented at the state
meeting at Tahoe in June. The plan was
discussed by Mr Daniels, Mr Perry and
Miss Horton, the general opinion being
that while some plan for certification is
desirable, the one under discussion is too
vague and faulty. No action was taken.
Miss Louise B. Krause, Librarian of
H. M. Byllesby & Co., Chicago, spoke on
"The business library — A new application
of an old ideal." She pointed out that not
only the old ideal but the present and
future ideal of librarianship is service,
and told how it was being applied by the
business libraries of today.
Miss Sarah M. Jacobus of Pomona gave
a short talk on "What shall the Public
Library save?" She emphasized the fact
that everything which might in the future
vol. 16, no. 2
CALIFORNLV LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
175
be of any value as local history should be
carefully saved. Telephone directories,
city maps, irrigation and fire district maps,
pictures of people, streets, buildings, in-
dustries, and all books by local authors,
regardless of merit, — all these should be
classified and kept in the local history
collection. But libraries should avoid
collecting museum exhibits, as they take
up too much room and are hard to
care for.
Miss Cornelia D. Provines, President of
the California Library Association, in her
address, explained clearly that part of the
report of the Special Legislative Com-
mittee on Education which refers to li-
braries. This report recommends that all
agencies which are doing work with or for
schools should become a part of the school
system, and since county libraries are
spending school money they, of course,
would be included, and sooner or later
all libraries would inevitably come under
the same supervision.
Miss Provines said that legislation upon
this matter will probably be deferred until
the next legislature and she suggested
that library people should acquaint them-
selves with that part of the report con-
cerning libraries and give the matter
their serious consideration. While no
action was taken, the discussion which
followed Miss Provines' address showed
that most of the assembly considered this
matter a serious menace to the character
of the work being done by the libraries
of the state.
At twelve o'clock the meeting adjourned
for luncheon which was served at St.
Ann's Inn, the members of the Associa-
tion being the guests of the Santa Ana
Chamber of Commerce, the County Board
of Supervisors and the Santa Ana Library
Hoard.
At 1.30 the meeting was called to order
and the afternoon program opened with a
most inspiring address by Mrs Sarah
McLean Mullen, of the English depart-
ment of the Lincoln High School of Los
Angeles^ Her subject was, "Why read?
How and What?" She made a plea for
closer sympathy with what she termed
"the rough neck boy." She said "there
is nothing so hide bound as the courses
of English in use in the United States."
She also said that "just because a boy
likes a book is no sign it is no good."
That the purpose of a book is to make
one think and react, to broaden the hori-
zon, to make the reader a better working
unit by knowing other units, to give him
ideals to work toward and a common
treasure store which he may enjoy with
others. Mrs Mullen sees no reason why a
boy should not be allowed to develop nat-
urally and to choose the books that inter-
est him, provided he is led by his instruc-
tors to consider what he thinks about the
book rather than merely getting the story.
Following Mrs Mullen's talk, Miss
Althea Warren of San Diego took the
chair and conducted a symposium on
recent library advertising. Poster mak-
ing and advertising methods in use in
Portland, Los Angeles and San Diego
were discussed by Miss Zulema Kostom-
latsky. Miss Monica Shannon and Miss
Irene Eckes. The idea brought out no
matter what methods of advertising are
used, the purpose of all publicity work
should be to build up a civic understand-
ing of the use and educational value of
the library.
Miss Gertrude Darlow of Los Angeles
concluded the afternoon's program with
one of her delightful talks on books. Most
of her address dealt with methods that
librarians may use in directing and assist-
ing patrons in the selection of books. She
emphasized the fact that a first-hand
knowledge of the contents of books helps
the attendant to inspire in others a desire
to read them, hence library workers should
read much and cultivate a taste for the
best in literature.
Just before adjournment, Mr Daniels
suggested that another symposium on li-
brary advertising be given a place on the
program for the state meeting. Miss
Warren spoke briefly on the need for pub-
licity in regard to library work as a pro-
fession. Greater effort should be made to
interest young people in the work.
Miss Brown proposed a vote expressing
the appreciation and thanks of all those
present for the hospitality extended by
the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, the
Board of Supervisors and the Library
Board, and also to the District President
for the splendid and helpful program
which all had enjoyed. The motion was
seconded and accepted.
Owing to the inclement weather the
auto ride which had been planned by the
Chamber of Commerce was given up, and
the meeting adjourned at four o'clock.
After adjournment many of the guests
accepted the invitation to visit the public
library. Minnie Maxwell,
Secretary.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
Milton J. Ferguson, State Librarian,
Chairman.
Everett It. Perry, Librarian, Los An-
geles Public Library, Secretary.
Robert Rea, Librarian, San Francisco
Public Library.
Sections 6 and 7 of the County free li-
brary law (Chap. 68, Cal. Statutes 1911)
read as follows :
Sec. 6. A commission is hereby cre-
ated to be known as the board of library
examiners, consisting of the state libra-
rian, who shall be ex officio chairman of
said board, the librarian of the public
library of the city and county of San
Francisco, and the librarian of the Los
Angeles public library.
Sec. 7. LTpon the establishment of a
county free library, the board of super-
visors shall appoint a county librarian,
who shall hold office for the term of four
years, subject to prior removal for cause,
after a hearing, by said board. No per-
son shall be eligible to the office of county
librarian unless, prior to his appointment,
he has received from the board of library
examiners a certificate of qualification for
the office. At the time of his appoint-
ment, the county librarian need not be a
resident of the county nor a citizen of the
State of California.
REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN.
At the meeting held on December 22,
1920, the following change in the rulings
of the Board was adopted :
That on and after that date the Board
of Library Examiners will give only one
grade of certificate which shall make the
holder thereof eligible for appointment to
any county free librarianship in the state
of California.
In making this change the Board gave
notice that
1. Candidates must have had at least
one full year's experience in a library of
recognized standing before they will be
admitted to examination.
2. Candidates must attain an average
grade of at least 75 per cent in examina-
tions to be granted a certificate.
3. The subjects on which markings will
be based are the following :
a. General education, library ex-
perience.
b. Library science and technique.
c. Library conditions and laws in
California, and in general.
d. Personality and fitness ; execu-
tive ability.
Candidates falling below a 75 per cent
marking in personality and fitness and
executive ability may, in the discretion
of the Board, be denied a certificate.
Persons who have heretofore been
issued first or second grade certificates,
but who are not employed as librarians
of a county free library will be required
to take the regular examination in order
to receive the new certificates.
Persons who have heretofore been issued
first or second grade certificates and who
are employed as librarians of county free
libraries may in the discretion of the
Board receive the new certificates without
being required to take the regular exam-
inations. Holders of second grade certifi-
cates, however, will be asked to appear
before the Board before the new certifi-
cates will be issued. Later notice thereof
will be given. But the Board reserves
the right in its judgment to require such
persons whose certificates are about to
expire to take the regular examinations.
The life of current certificates shall not
be affected by above regulation.
CERTIFICATE HOLDERS.
Note. — First-grade certificates are valid
for use throughout the state ; second grade,

eighth (except twenty-fifth, thirty-third,

clusive. Third-grade certificates, formerly
issued for use in counties of the forty-
ninth to the fifty-eighth classes, inclusive,

REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
Susan T. Smith, in charge.
The Reference Department furnishes
information to any inquirer. It furnishes
books to public libraries on request of the
librarian, and to any other educational
institution on request of its official head
or its librarian ; to individuals through the
signature of a state officer, of the Li-
brarian of the local library or of the
official head of any other educational in-
stitution or on receipt of a $5.00 deposit ;
to a club or grange on request of its presi-
dent, secretary or librarian. In counties
having county free libraries, all requests
must be made through the county free
library.
There is an ever increasing demand for
plays of all kinds and colored pictures
of costumes for entertainments, pageants,
dances and the stage. There is a dearth
of useful printed material covering these
two subjects. There are plays galore,
which never seem just to suit the occa-
sion.
Given all'the requirements as to sex and
number of characters, time allowance and
nature of play, one of the essentials is
always missing. Either the dialogue is
inane, the action slow or the setting-
wrong. Then a play that reads well does
not always produce well, and we have
found no reliable lists.
Many of the clubs and schools have
given successful performances. If any
librarians know of any that have made a
hit in the community, will she not send us
the author and title with a brief sum-
mary of its chief characteristics — as num-
ber of characters, length of performance,
and scope (comic or serious suitable for
that class of amateurs, etc).
We will be glad to compile a list from
the combined list and print in News
Notes.
The same may be said as to costume.
The most satisfactory pictures, especially
in color, are not to be found in obvious
sources, but pop out at one from an ad-
vertising page, a magazine or book of
travel. Let us make a note of these for
future reference.
CATALOG DEPARTMENT.
Ida G. Mtjnson, in charge.
During January, February and March
1596 books were cataloged and 11,574
cards were added to the file.
A-t present the entire catalog staff is
engaged in cataloging recent accessions.
The State Library, having found it
impracticable to follow the classification
outlined in the 10th edition of the Dewey
decimal classification for European war
material, owing to the large collection of
earlier European history already classed
in 940.1-9, has adopted the following
scheme for the European war :
940.91 Great war (general)
910.911 Political history
94D.912 Causes
940.92 Diplomatic history
910.921 Secret service
940.93 Military history
940.931 Land operations
940.932 Special campaigns
940.933 Air warfare
940.934 Naval history
940.935 Personal narratives
940.936 Prisons, hospitals, charities
940.937 Welfare work
940.938 Celebrations, commemora-
tions
,940.94-97 Individual countries (Divided
like 940-999).
Regimental histories with the country
number, e.g. 940.9421 English regimental
history.

NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [April, 1921
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT.
Etjdoba Gaeoutte, in charge.
The California Department aims to
have a thoroughly good collection of books
on the history and description, resources
and industries of the State, as well as the
works of California authors in all de-
partments of literature. These are made
accessible by means of a card catalog.
Full names and biographical sketches of
California authors, artists, musicians,
pioneers and early settlers are being
secured, together with their photographs.
The collection of bound periodicals is
quite large. The Department also con-
tains about 7000 bound volumes of news-
papers, a file of which is being indexed
with reference to the history of the State.
Students will be assisted in their work.
Pioneers and Early Settlers.
A granddaughter of George C. Yount
has not only filled out a card for this
pioneer of the pioneers but has also fur-
nished a printed biography of which she
is the author.
George C. Yount arrived in California
in 1832 and was the first white settler
in the Napa Valley. Later Mr Yount
received as a grant the famous Caymus
Rancho. He built the first flour and saw
mills in this section. He lived at Cay-
mus an honored and influential citizen
until the time of his death, May 4, 1865.
We were also fortunate in receiving
the biographical card of another noted
pioneer who arrived prior to the American
occupation. Major Pierson Barton Read-
ing came to California in 1843. A year
later he received a grant of 26,633 acres
in what is now Shasta county. "Buena
Ventura" was a small empire in itself and
was the scene of many important events.
Major Reading was prominent in the
Bear Flag revolution, Paymaster with
rank of Major in the Mexican war, Indian
agent and also a candidate for Governor
in 1851, but was defeated by John Bigler.
Major Reading was a close friend of
General Bidwell and there are a number
of interesting documents regarding him in
the Bidwell collection which has recently
been received by the State Library as a
bequest from Mrs Bidwell.
Other cards received are as follows :
Brashear, William Samuel
Hayward, Horace
Lawson, Wade Hampton
Metteer, C. H.
Morris, Mrs Martha Jane
Reay, Mrs Christiana G

pletely filled in.
Catalog.
Four hundred and forty-one cards have
been added to the California catalog dur-
ing the last quarter.
Donations.
The most interesting pictures received
for some time have recently come to the
department through the generosity of
Phil B. Bekeart of San Francisco. They
are of James W. Marshall. One is a
colored photographic reproduction of a
water color made of Marshall by Harrison
Eastman, one of California's earliest
artists. The other is a colored photo-
graphic reproduction of an old ambrotype.
The original was made in 1849 and shows
the discoverer of gold as he was at the
time of his important discovery. These
pictures give an entirely different im-
pression of the man from that gained from
his later portraits. Mr Bekeart also had
these pictures framed and they are now
hung where they can be seen by those who
visit the Library.
Other pictures of especial interest are
two original paintings by Jay Lewis, pre-
sented by his daughter, Mary A. Lewis ;
a picture of the old Marsh house, gift of
Mrs Alice J. Whitbeck ; photographs of
a number of the old mining towns that
came to us through the courtesy of Bert
Hodson, a local photographer ; and early
pictures of the E. B. Crocker family,
the gift of Misses Bessie and Mary
Crouch.
Emile Bruguiere, one of California's
native musicians, who is now in Europe,
has placed in the California musician sec-
tion for preservation an autograph copy
of his new opera "Querida." Mr Brug-
uiere is the author of the libretto as well
as the composer of the music'
A large number of books, pamphlets,
programs, and other material has been
received.
BOOKS FOR THE BLIND DEPART-
MENT.
Mabel R. Giixis, in charge
Embossed books in the various types
are sent to any blind resident in Cali-
fornia upon application. Circular and
finding list, with Call slip postal, will be
sent on request. Writing appliances and
games for the blind are loaned as samples
to those wishing to buy such articles, so
that the different kinds can be tried

firms supplying all articles loaned will be
furnished on request.
Books sent to individuals from an in-
stitution distributing embossed literature
are carried free through the mails.
Embossed catalogs in American Braille,

selection.
The State Library will be glad to have
borrowers who care to do so write any

LEGISLATION OF THE 1921 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.
By Joseph H.
Juire, Law and Legislative Reference Librarian,
California State Library.
Aid to returned veterans and reorgani-
zation of the state government were the
two outstanding subjects upon which the
1921 session of the California legislature
passed legislation of a permanent and
poliey-deterinining character. As a result
of the group of soldier aid measures Cali-
fornia offers to its veterans financial and
educational aid of a character which ranks
with the best offered by any of the other
states. By the administrative changes re-
sulting from the several reorganization
bills, the state takes its place with the
other progressive American states which
are endeavoring to coordinate the many-
functioned agencies of government.
In other fields of legislation, the em-
phasis at the recent session was placed on
matters relating to agriculture, natural
resources and the development of the
material wealth of the state. Social legis-
lation has received such generous consid-
eration at previous sessions of the legis-
lature that the 1921 measures were
largely amendatory or procedural in their
nature. Only a few acts were passed re-
lating to labor or to women and children,
subjects which occupied much attention
in the 1917 and 1919 sessions.
Reform of the administration of justice
in the interest of persons unable to bear
the heavy costs of litigation received
attention in two new acts. To simplify
the procedure for settling small claims,
the legislature provided that all justices'
courts should act as small claims courts
for this purpose. The office of public de-
fender, created and popularized in Los
Angeles county, was made a county office
for the ten larger counties of the state.
This officer is to defend persons without
means in criminal actions and to give
assistance in worthy cases in civil matters.
Prohibition was again the subject for
a long and bitter struggle which ended in
the passage of the Wright Act, by which
the state adopts the federal prohibition
law as state law and requires state and
local officers to enforce its provisions.
An increase in the corporation tax
rates levied for state purposes was made
by the King bill. Out of the fight which
was waged over the question of making
the raise there resulted several new meas-
ures providing for the collection of in-
formation relating to the value of the
properties taxed and the relative burden
of taxation as compared with general
property taxed for local purposes.
The usual large number of educational
laws was passed, relating for the most
part to procedural and formal changes
necessitated by the continued expansion
of educational activities in the state.
Among the new laws in this field are
those regulating the conduct of foreign
language schools, establishing citizenship
classes for applicants for citizenship, pro-
viding schools for children of migratory
workers and making more permanent the
tenure of teachers.
Signs of the times can be seen in
many of the new measures. Aircraft be-
came the subject for legislative action
for the first time in 1919 when penalties
were imposed for hunting in airplanes.
At the 1921 session the commercial status
of the airplane was recognized by a law
providing for the registration of aircraft
and licensing of operators. The country-
wide campaign for "truth in advertising"
finds expression in a penal law to prevent
the misrepresentation of the character of
second-hand and defective merchandise.
And even the big league baseball scandal
has stirred the California legislators to
action by passing a measure which will
send to jail anyone who will try to
"throw" a game if it seems the Senators
are about to take the pennaut from the
Seals.
A long ballot at the general election in
November, 1922, is forecasted by the four-
teen constitutional amendments and the
two bond issues which the legislature
passed for submission at that time. To
the lay voter, most of the constitutional
amendments will seem extremely technical
and entirely removed from the range of
knowledge which he can bring to play in
voting intelligently on the subjects con-
cerned. One amendment, for instance,
12431
238
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
authorizes the legislature to classify
counties for the purpose of regulating the
title insurance business and another re-
lates to the procedure governing judges
pro tempore. Each general election sees
a growing number of amendments of the
type which try the voter's mind and
patience. This condition is a natural out-
growth of the tendency to write statutory
material into the constitution where it is
put beyond the pale of legislative amend-
ment and can be changed only by vote of
the people. The condition will continue
until a new constitution dealing only with
fundamentals is adopted or until by con-
stitutional amendment the legislature is
reinvested with the power to make these
detailed changes.
The bond issues which will be voted on
are the ten million dollar issue for veteran
land settlement and farm and home site
projects and the three million dollar issue
for the continuation of the established
land settlement projects of the state land
settlement board.
In addition to these propositions for
which the legislature is responsible, the
Wright Prohibition Act, the State Hous-
ing Act, and the Act relating to the prac-
tice of law by banks have been suspended
by the referendum. As it is more than
likely that at least two initiative measures
will make their appearance, the voter in
1922 will have at least twenty proposi-
tions on which to indicate a choice, as
well as a complete list of state officers to
elect.
The legislature adjourned without
taking action on one of the most im-
portant items on the agenda for the ses-
sion— that of reapportionment of the con-
gressional and legislative districts on the
basis of the population returns of the
1920 census. Early in the session it was
seen that the task was one requiring long
and concentrated deliberation which was
not possible at a regular session. The
possibilities of California being given an
increased congressional representation
made it seem wise to defer action until
Congress had spoken in the matter. A
special session therefore is on the calendar
for the settlement of this intricate
problem.
The 1921 legislature broke all records
for quantity of output. The new volume
of statutes will consist of 915 laws,
which is over three times the number of
laws passed in the session twenty years
ago. This record would seem to confirm
the belief that the state suffers from over-
legislation on the part of its zealous law
makers. Whatever truth there may be
in that assumption, there is another side
to the story which is not appreciated by
the general public and, indeed, by very
few new legislators until they are several
weeks along in the session. Probably
two-thirds of the bills considered and
passed by the legislature have no direct
bearing on the general welfare of the
whole state or the rights and duties of its
individual citizens. Instead, they are
local bills, such as county salary bills,
irrigation district validation acts, special
appropriation bills, and code amendments
making minor but necessary changes in
matters of school administration or court
procedure. These are routine measures
which must be passed to observe legal
requirements and to care for the normal
changes wrought by time and experience.
They provide little opportunity for
eloquent debate, have no attraction for
the newspaper correspondents and require
nights of tedious committee meetings and
days of dreary roll-calls. If they add to
the size of the statute book, the legisla-
ture is not to be blamed for a reckless
enthusiasm in writing new laws but is
rather to be commiserated witn for the
irksome hours which the increase repre-
sents. Each session sees a number of
new members of the legislature who are
disillusioned by this ordeal and are willing
and eager to pass the honors of public
life to some other aspirant in the district.
Iu the following summary, a rough
grouping by subject matter is made of
the important legislation of the session.
The bound volume of statutes, in the
preparation of which the State Printing
Office and the State Library, through its
Law and Legislative Reference Depart-
ment, are now at work, will be ready for
distribution by the Secretary of State
sometime early in September.

farm or home or home site; (2) develop-
ment of land settlement colonies for sol-
dier purchase; and (3) assistance in
securing educational advantages. A vet-
eran accepting assistance under one act
is precluded from accepting assistance
under the other two. Appropriations are
provided for placing each of these acts in
operation as soon as the hoard is organ-
ized, which will probably be some time in
August. In addition, a ten million dollar
bond issue, to be voted on in November,
246
NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
1922, was passed to continue the work of
the first two projects. The provisions of
these four acts are briefly as follows :
Educational opportunities. (S. B. 593,

institute is established under the veterans'
welfare board to provide assistance in
meeting the educational needs and desires
of returned service men. Five hundred
thousand dollars is appropriated.

lars. Purchases are made by the board
on application of the veteran, who makes
repayment in not more than forty years.
Two million dollars is appropriated.

580.) A land settlement plan, similar
to that now being carried out by the state
land settlement board, is provided under
the direction of the veterans' welfare
board. The board is to subdivide tracts
into farm allotments and farm laborers'
allotments and to sell these allotments on
term payments not exceeding forty years.
The value of the allotments without im-
provements is not to exceed fifteen thous-
and dollars for farm allotments and one
thousand dollars for farm laborers' allot-
ments. The act carries an appropriation
of one million dollars.
Veterans' welfare hond issue. (S. B.
592, Chap. 578.) A bond issue of ten
million dollars is authorized, to be voted
on in November, 1922, for the purpose of
providing funds for continuing the work
begun by the soldier land settlement act
and the veterans' farm and home purchase
act.
The second group consists of the fol-
lowing laws which in other ways recog-
nize the services of the state's veterans :

wearing the badge or other insignia of
organizations composed of war veterans.

aminations, veterans and widows of vet-
erans are to be allowed an additional
percentage of five per cent. General and
individual preferences may be made in the
ratings of veterans who have suffered per-
manent disability in line of duty. In
examinations requiring journeyman ex-
perience, war service is to count as jour-
neyman experience.
Dependents, education of. (S. B. 975,
Chap. 319.) The veterans' welfare board
is authorized to provide for the education
of dependents of veterans from moneys
derived from the sale of delinquent tax
lands.

NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
LIBRARY LEGISLATION, 1921.
Outlines of a Report Made at the Tahoe Conference of the California Library
Association.
By Milton J. Ferguson Librarian, California State Library.
Sometimes the thing not done is as im-
portant as the thing accomplished ; or,
in the case of a possible piece of legisla-
tion which might have changed the world
for the library system of California, very
much more important. As the Report of
the Special Legislative Committee on
Education has already been discussed by
me in some detail, I do not feel it neces-
sary to dwell upon its recommendations.
There is no real conflict, however, between
school and library ; each has an extremely
important mission, and will accomplish
the best results by a reasonable coopera-
tion rather than through forceful subor-
dination. The Report in so far as it
touches the library question is founded
upon insufficient knowledge and investi-
gation. It is a phrasing, however, of the
theories of a certain school of educators ;
it brought the subject to a focus, and
for that reason alone is worth while.
The best imaginable argument against the
proposal of the drafter of the Report is
the contrast between the failure of school
library service of other years and its
unlimited success under the modem plan
of cooperation with the county libraries.
Reorganization, nevertheless, was in the
air ; and two plans were presented to the
Legislature. As the Taxpayers' system
was not cordially received, it may be over-
looked ; as may also the so-called admin-
istration hills except the one relating to
the Department of Finance. At first
glance it may seem peculiar to group the
State Library in such a department. It
is, however, a reasonable arrangement,
since the only branch of the state govern-
ment with which the State Library has
official business dealing's — other than in
the giving of library service — is the De-
partment of Finance. There is no possi-
bility of conflict between the Library as
a division and the Department as its gov-
erning power. During the past several
years these two instrumentalities of gov-
ernment have, on account of their busi-
ness relationship, been brought into under-
standing and harmony. It is, therefore,
not anticipated that the governing board
of the Department of Finance, which
under the law falls heir to the duties,
powers, purposes and responsibilities of
the Board of State Library Trustees, will
desire to push its control beyond a reason-
able and general business supervision of
the Library which has in reality been
exercised for several years.
In one respect the new law makes a
radical change. It was felt that since
library service has attained professional
proportions it would be well if the law
required the appointment as State Librar-
ian of a person qualified for the position.
Accordingly, at one of the hearings the
suggestion was made to the Committee
on Governmental Efficiency that a clause
be written into the bill restricting appoint-
ment to persons experienced in the man-
agement and control of libraries. As the
bill was finally passed it provides that the
"state librarian shall be a technically
trained librarian." This provision is cer-
tainly in harmony with the struggle of
library workers for recognition on a pro-
fessional basis ; and the thanks of our
forces are due both Legislature and Gov-
ernor for heeding our requests.
If, however, we were attempting to re-
turn thanks for benefits bestowed by the
administration, we would only be at the
threshold in recording the item mentioned
above. In a year when every effort was
made to trim state budgets, and when, on
account of laws approved by the people
at the polls, it was necessary to appro-
priate large additional sums, the value
of the work of the State Library was
recognized and its biennial fund increased
from $200,000 to $304,900. The increase
does not place us in the excess profits
class, by any means ; but it will enable
us to pay a little better in salaries, there-

249
by encouraging our personnel, and will
go part way towards making up for the
enhanced cost of books.
So far as the State Library itself is
concerned one of the most significant acts
of the Legislature was the adoption of the
measure under the terms of which $400,-
000 will be available to promote the sale
of the Capitol Extension Bonds. The
great advance in the cost of building since
the bonds were voted in November 1914,
the necessity of marketing the bonds at
par. and the further fact that the bonds
bear an interest rate of only four per
cent have combined to keep our beautiful
plans locked up in the State Architect's
vault. Meanwhile, the Library's collec-
tions have grown to such proportions that
it is no longer possible to house them in
the Capitol building ; they have overflown
into the basement of a business building
where they are not accessible. And what
is more distressing, all the possessions of
the Library, whether in the Capitol or
out, are subject to a fire risk frightful to
contemplate. If California should be
visited by fire in the way New York,
Missouri, and West Virginia — to name
only a few — have been in recent years,
then we would lose information concern-
ing our great commonwealth which could
not possibly be replaced. The most joyful
news which could be given to the press
would be the early announcement that the
first spadeful of earth had been turned
and that there would be no cessation of
labor until the last hammer tap had
sounded.
We are happy to chronicle the adoption
by other states of county library laws.
This list may not be complete ; but notice
has come of successful effort on the part
of Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri,
Ohio, and Tennessee ; while New York
has made her statute more workable by
amendment. No study, careful or other-
wise, has been made of these measures ;
but, in contrast to the simplicity of our
own act, it is not possible to pass by
without comment the peculiarly compli-
cated multiplicity of boards which has
been written into the Tennessee law.
We congratulate our sister states on
their success in acquiring a fundamental
law upon which to base their future
library activities.
In California certain vital amendments
were secured which must vastly influence
the progress of our work. Among these
mention should be made, with much satis-
faction, of the change in the Political
Code section under which funds are ap-
portioned for school library purposes.
The development of the county library
has been so rapid, its possibility of serv-
ice has become so great, and the need on
the part of the school has become so
pressing that in many of the two thousand
districts now within the fold the service
received has cost the county library giving
It twice, thrice and not infrequently ten
times the money paid. Such dispropor-
tion could be attained only at the expense
of the general public service ; and while
no doubt it could be justified for a limited
period, it is a defect which in the end
cried for correction.
The percentage basis of fixing the dis-
trict school library fund, under the amend-
ment, has been abolished ; and in its place
has been substituted a minimum of not
less than twenty-five dollars per teacher.
Whereas in a five teacher school formerly
the maximum fund amounted to only
seventy-five dollars, under the new act the
minimum may not fall below one hundred
and twenty-five dollars. The provision
covering cities governed by city boards of
education, setting a maximum of eighty
cents per pupil, has not been changed.
A reading of the county free library act
would seemingly leave no one in doubt
as to the status of the county librarian.
There are, however, at least two interpre-
tations of every measure on the books,
whatever may be the skill of the draughts-
man. It is not surprising, therefore, that
some of the district attorneys should ques-
tion the assumption that the county
librarian is a county official. The Attor-
ney General was asked for an opinion ;
it confirmed the usual interpretation, but
did not in all cases satisfy the questioners.
Consequently, when an opportunity came
during the session to amend the law and
name the county librarian, in black and
white, officially and unmistakably as a
county official, it was seized. The deed is
done.
Finally, we come to one more place in
the story where the administration is due
our sincerest thanks. Bills increasing
250
NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
the salaries of thirty-one county librarians
came into the Governor's hands. He
weighed them all carefully and in the end
every measure received his official sanc-
tion. Today the lowest paid county
librarian, Modoc with a population of
only 5,425 persons, receives $1000 ; while
at the head of the list stands Fresno at
$4000. The combined increase amounts
to the not unrespectable figure of $14,680
per year. Further, in three counties,
bills were approved whereby salaries
which through reclassification would be
reduced were kept at the old figure.
From every angle the legislative pro-
gram of the year, while not revolutionary,
marked a steady and satisfactory growth.
Officially and unofficially the librarian and
his service are being taken as eminently
worth while. The financial support
needed is given less and less grudgingly ;
and the California librarian who is not
inspired to greater effort, it must sadly
be acknowledged, has either never had the
gleam or has lost it. Either condition is
one of pitiable sadness.

LOS ANGELES PUBLIC LIBRARY'S CAMPAIGN FOR A
BUILDING.
By Monica Shannon, Los Angeles Public Library.
It would take a more verbose, exuber-
ant pen than mine to adequately describe
the Los Angeles Public Library's recent
campaign for a building. Someone on the
order of Mr H. G. Wells, who sits up
night after night ensconced in a special
arm chair pouring out cup after cup of
strong tea and page after page of lan-
guage, should undertake it.
The Los Angeles Public Library, as
nearly everyone is aware, has never had
a central library building. With the ex-
ception of early years in the City Hall,
this library has always been housed in
rented quarters in the business district.
It now occupies three floors of the Metro-
politan Building, on one of the busiest
corners in the city.
Los Angeles is said to be one of the
fastest growing cities in the United
States, but during the last ten years the
Public Library grew twice as fast as the
city, so that the problem of taking care
of this patronage in crowded office quar-
ters, reached only by elevators, has be-
come day by day more baffling. The Li-
brary also faced a greatly increased rental
at the expiration of its present advanta-
geous lease in 1924. Consequently, al-
though this did not seem the most favor-
able time financially to ask the people of
Los Angeles to vote bonds for a library
building, so urgent was the need that the
Library Board of Directors appeared be-
fore the City Council on April first with
an earnest plea for the appearance of
the library issue on the spring ballot.
The City Fathers finally put a $2,500,-
000 bond issue for a library building and
site on the June seventh ballot, together
with a sewer Ibond proposition of $12,250,-
000; viaduct bonds $1,000,000; fire and
police bonds $1,250,000; water bonds
$2.500,000 ; and harbor bonds $4,800,000 ;
and all the prophets foretold failure for
Library Bonds.
Immediately an outline of all possible
points of attack was drawn up for the
library campaign and committees ap-
pointed from the staff to begin an on-
slaught at strategic places. The out-
line covered the following mediums of
publicity : newspapers, suburban, techni-
cal, religious, fraternal, school, and the
five big city dailies ; business and techni-
cal societies and associations, department
stores and factories, scientific and agri-
cultural associations, trade unions and
civic and fraternal associations, clubs,
schools, churches and religious organiza-
tions, foreign colonies, motion pictures,
theatre programmes and menu cards ;
advertising in the Library. Committees
were also appointed to reach political
candidates, provide speakers and arrange
for distribution of the printed material.
A set of "Pacts and Figures for Campaign
Workers" was sent to each member of the
staff, and the greatest enthusiasm raged.
The printed matter was the next con-
sideration. It had to be prepared as
quickly as possible because the election
was only a few weeks ahead. A chart
of the printed matter was made showing
size, material and quantity required.
Posters, placards, banners, stickers for
automobiles, dodgers to be left at every
home, a printed postal to be mailed out
by staff members and friends with a per-
sonal message, were decided upon. The
poster design was donated by a commer-
cial artist and the dodgers had a clever
cartoon by Gale, the well-known cartoon-
ist of the Los Angeles Times. The post
card read as follows :
"Friend of the Library :
Win Votes for Library Bonds June 7.
The Public Library has been FIFTY
1EARS WITHOUT A HOME. Los
Angeles is the only large city in the
United States which has never owned
its own Central Library Building.
RENT IS WASTE. During the last
fifteen years the Public Library has paid
$205,000 for rent.
Library Bonds will only cost 2 cents on
every $100 worth of assessed valuation
of property.
252
NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
Let us build a Library such as San
Francisco has and take our place with
progressive cities !
VOTE "YES" ON PROPOSITION 3
— June 7th."
The placards said :
"Los Angeles! YOU NEED A LI-
BRARY. VOTE YES Proposition No. 3,
June 7. 'Own your own Public Library.' "
Large banners were swung from all of
the branch libraries. Those on contented
Carnegie branches had the slogan :
"Branches will not grow unless Main
Trunk flourishes. Wake up ! Vote for
a Main Library Building June 7."
The slogan used for the other branches
was : "The Public Library for Everybody,
Everybody for the Public Library Build-
ing. Vote Yes on Proposition 3, June 7."
A banner was also hung across the en-
trance of the Metropolitan Building "Vote
Yes on Proposition 3, June 7" ; and at the
corner of the entrance the eyes of each
passer-by read : "Wake up, Los Angeles.
Vote for a Library Building and take
your place with progressive cities."
There were posters in the elevators and
banners and posters in all parts of the
Library. The Bulletin Boards contained
pictures of fine library buildings in the
United States, and an unobtrusive but
active publicity was done over the charg-
ing desk by quiet remarks to its patrons.
All of the magazines, newspapers and out-
going mail were stamped : "Friend of the
Library. Win Votes for Library Bonds,"
and slips "Vote Yes on Proposition 3,
Own your own Public Library" or "Save
Money, Stop paying rent, Own your Own
Public Library, Vote Yes Proposition 3,
June 7," went out with all books.
A large Los Angeles department store
designed a special circular and enclosed
it in their packages. The Library had
copies made and induced the other stores
to use it as an enclosure. Several of the
leading stores and banks had window
exhibits and the former also ran Library
publicity in their newspaper advertise-
ments. A billboard company presented
the Library with $1100 worth of space
and forty billboards were posted in prom-
inent places.
The motion picture producers made a
special film showing the crowded condi-
tions in the Library, which was run at
all the principal downtown theatres. The
clubs and state societies were reached by
letter and all of the large clubs gave
the Public Library a place on their pro-
grammes, and in some instances appointed
special committees to work with the Li-
brary and printed earnest appeals to their
members to support library bonds in their
monthly bulletins. While even the small-
est eating houses on the East side ran
"Food for Thought. Vote Yes on Propo-
sition 3, Own your own Central Library
Building" on their menu cards ; and big
downtown theatres printed slogans on
every page of their programmes. At a
large international exhibit planned by the
Federation of Women's Clubs, different
nationalities donated space on the pro-
grammes asking their people in Greek or
Spanish, as the case might be, to "Vote
'Yes' on Proposition 3, June 7." A Czech
artist donated a remarkable and striking
poster urging all people wherever born to
vote for a library building. This poster
was displayed in the window of a big fur-
niture store on Broadway.
Talks were made in all sorts of places :
■?.t the Labor Temple, at a street' dance and
political rally, to laundry workers during
their noon hour, at Community sings, be-
fore the Audubon Society, Llewellyn Iron
Workers, Musicians' Club, Apartment
House Asociation, and every conceivable
place that it was found possible to squeeze
a speaker in.
Articles appeared everywhere in house
organs, in technical journals, in church
calendars and in foreign and negro news-
papers. The work with the negroes was
most effective. Early in the campaign a
negro, on the editorial staff of one of the
evening papers, addressed a letter over his
signature to hundreds of prominent people
of his race, using the editorial letterhead
of his paper. The letter was multi-
graphed and envelopes addressed by the
Library.
The five big city papers stood together
on this one bond issue and gave most
generous and effective space, especially in
consideration of the fact that a big politi-
cal battle for the mayoralty was being
waged at the same time.
Editorials and persistent articles of
direct publicity appeared in all the daily
papers. One evening paper ran a large
vol. 16, no. 3]

copy of the Library's poster, and a morn-
ing Sunday edition had a photographic
sheet of the crowded conditions in the
Library. The leading ministers of the
city in Sunday sermons urged their con-
gregation to vote for a library building,
and these earnest appeals were printed on
a half-sheet of a 'big morning paper.
Statements were secured from leading
educators, clergymen, financiers and other
men and women of affairs, containing
their whole-hearted understanding of the
meaning of the Public Library in the life
of the city and these letters, together with
the endorsements of clubs and associa-
tions, were compiled into newspaper pub-
licity.
The Library Bonds were the only ones
that carried with the sole exception of
the Harbor Bonds. The Library polled
63,852 favorable votes and the Harbor
issue, which was backed by big business,
o6,172. The victory was due to concen-
trated unflagging zeal on the part of
Library Board, Librarian and Staff. The
Library worked, just as a symphony
orchestra does, as one unit and the last
measures arose in a fine, triumphal strain
of "Victory."

LIBRARY EXTENSION WORK IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
By Laura Robson, Assistant Librarian, Library of Hawaii, Honolulu.
Library work in the Hawaiian Islands
presents certain difficulties not met with
on the mainland. Here there is a very
small "middle class" — the chief patrons
of a library. Outside of Honolulu we
have a small white population made up
of wealthy old families, plantation man-
agers and a few trained office and techni-
few
Koreans and Porto Ricans. Very
Hawaiians labor in the plantations.
After visiting the small rural schools in
California, I was not prepared to see such
large numbers of children in these country
districts. This is, of course, accounted
for by the connection of the schools with
the plantations. The white children are

cal men, and a large number of dark-
skinned laborers. The proportion will
range perhaps from fifty to one hundred
white people in a community to several
thousand Orientals.
One who has not known at first hand
something of the conditions here does
not grasp the significance of the planta-
tion, system. At first hand it seems to be
a relic of feudalism. Each plantation
provides cottages for the laborers, ar-
ranged in camps — often several on the
holdings — has a school or schools, a com-
pany store, clubhouse, welfare worker,
etc. Half of the laborers are Japanese ;
the rest, Filipinos, Chinese, Portuguese,
sent to boarding schools or have govern-
esses at home. Their parents, who are
the tax payers, do not derive benefit from
the schools. The schools are built on the
cottage plan. There is a central building
with several one-room buildings. Light
without glare is obtained in these cottages
by having about two feet of wire screen-
ing along the top of the walls. The walls
are of single boards.
It has been my work since I arrived
six months ago to continue with the trav-
eling libraries sent out to schools, com-
munities and homes by the territorial
library, the Library of Hawaii, and to do
propaganda work toward the establishing

of a county library system. We were
told at first that there was absolutely no
possibility of a change this year, but we
kept on and a short time ago, the county
library bill was passed by the Legislature,
and the appropriations asked for, granted.
Several bills were prepared. The one
finally presented was made up, with the
help of the California County Library
Law, by a committee on Maui. For this
raason, it had more support from the
on the Island. An old church library has
been revivgd by the high school librarian.
Two gifts, totalling four hundred dollars,
were made to her to buy children's books,
and a minstrel show last month brought
over four hundred dollars for other books.
I am sura that the county library on
Kauai will also receive material helps
from time to time.

outside islands than if it had been pre-
pared by the Library of Hawaii.
The appropriations will be available the
first of July. Of the four counties in the
Territory, two will establish county libra-
ries, one will act under contract, and the
fourth will be a department of the Library
of Hawaii.
Of the first two mentioned, Kauai is
the smallest county in the Territory. It
is called the "Garden Island" and boasts
a miniature Grand Canyon of the Col-
orado, and a mountain with the highest
rainfall in the world. A lot near the
court house has been offered by the plan-
tation and the building will doubtless be
erected by some of the wealthy families
ilies there will want to give aid to the
library. This county takes in three
islands — Maui, Molokai and Lanai. Maui
is famous for its extinct volcano, Halea-
kala, the crater of which is so large that
New York City could be dropped in and
room would be left. A small part of
Molokai is taken up by the leper settle-
ment. Maui will probably issue county
bonds for the erection of a library build-
ing.
The Island of Hawaii is the farthest
south of the group. This, known as the
"Big Island," is visited by thousands of
tourists, who want to see an active vol-
cano. Miss Margaret Newman from the
Kern County Free Library, California,
256
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
arrived a month ago to become Librarian
at Hilo, the county seat. The library was
erected some few years ago by residents
and has been maintained almost entirely
by territorial funds. The county library
law just passed provides for the extension
of the Hilo library service to include the
whole island.
The rural part of Oahu, the island on
which Honolulu is located, will be served
as a department of the Library of Hawaii.
This department will also provide the
school library collections in Honolulu,
and do the reference work required from
the other islands.
Appropriations granted are eight thou-
sand dollars for Kauai, ten thousand for
Maui, twelve thousand five hundred for
Hawaii.
Branch visiting by county librarians in
California has been done in several differ-
ent ways — by train, machine, or horse-
back— but almost wholly on dry land. In
connection with the traveling libraries I
have made three interesting water trips
to outside islands.
I left for Maui early in December by
the good ship Mauna Kea. After a seven
ho'-rs' run, during which we passed Mol-
ol<ai with its mountain range sticking like
a lack-bone out of the water, we reached
Lahaina on the east coast of the Island.
Instead of drawing up to a conventional
wharf, we stopped in mid-ocean. A stair-
way was let down over the side of the
boat. "Ladies and children first" walked
down the stairway, clinging to the sides,
and when the platform was reached,
stepped into a bobbing rowboat. This
was a large one as rowboats go, rowed by
two Hawaiians each with a large oar.
The wreath of flowers on their hats con-
trasted strangely with their powerful
figures.
I was met and entertained during my
two days' stay on this side of the island
and also during the six days on the other
side. The branches visited included a
pineapple cannery, a sugar mill and set-
tlement houses. Most of the school visit-
ing was done with the Supervisor of Edu-
cation. In one school visited, the second
graders sang very beautifully some three-
part songs without accompaniment.
Their voices were subdued and perfectly
balanced.
The excitement of the return trip in the
rowboat out to the steamer was increased
by being at midnight and with a drunken
man who wanted to hold a fellow-passen-
ger's crying baby and several other chil-
dren. It is not possible to make reserva-
tions on this boat, so I had for a room-
mate a large Hawaiian woman, who spoke
no English. Her luggage consisted of
three bundles tied up in ti leaves.
My next trip was to the Island of
Kauai in January. We landed in a rough
sea at two thirty in the morning. We
had no volition in the matter of getting
into the rowboat. This rode the crest
of the wave and as it passed under the
platform, a passenger was dropped in. It
a as a highly exhilarating experience.
On this Island I saw two fine new com-
munity houses being built on plantations.
They are providing for a reading room.
ISIy trip home from Kauai was very ex-
citing. It was so stormy that the captain
ieft at a port some fifteen miles from the
.cheduled place. The stairway was not
let down for the passengers to get from
the rowboat to the steamer. As the row-
boat came on the crest of the wave, a
lassenger standing on the seat was hoist-
d up to the opening where freight is
loaded. During the night a big wave
struck amid-ships and flooded the cabins.
The next trip was made in April to the
Island of Hawaii, a twenty hours' run
from Honolulu. Miss Newman went with
me on a four days' automobile trip around
the Island. To me this is the most inter-
esting island of the group because it is
the most untouched b> modern life. The
other islands seem a huge cultivated field.
Only a very small part of Hawaii is put
to cane and almost none to pineapple.
The central part is taken up with two
mountains, each fourteen thousand feet
high. Down the slopes of these and
reaching to the sea, are miles and miles
of lava desert with not a green thing-
growing. On the west coast are coffee
plantations. Except in the cane districts
of the northern coast the communities are
small groups of Hawaiians — small farmers
and fishex*men. We noticed the character-
istic charm and friendliness of the Hawai-
ians in the school children here. In these
small schools the teachers and children
are Hawaiian.
VOl. 16, no. 3] LIBRARY WORK IN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
257
One of the important parts of the
library work to be developed through the
county is the community service. This
has not been worked out through the trav-
eling libraries. One reason is the per-
sonal service given by the Library of
Hawaii to home libraries. These home
library borrowers are well-to-do white
people who wish only the late books. It
may be that when the county library sys-
tem is established that these people will
not care to use a community collection.
The traveling libraries are sent to about
one hundred homes, one hundred and
twenty-five schools and fifty communities.
Books for schools must be graded two
or three years lower than for white chil-
dren because of the difficulty the children
have with English. They are very eager
indeed for books. One teacher told me
that she had trouble with books being
stolen from the school after hours and
that the one she never could keep was
Eggleston's History of the United States.
Following this, the preference was for
stories of Rome and Greece. Children of
whatever age clamour for fairy stories.
It is the greatest fun imaginable to tell
stories in the class-room and see the rows
of spell-bound almond eyes. A Hawaiian
teacher told of how her children would
read or tell the stories from the library
books to the older people who could not
read, and how these grown-ups would
weep at the sad stories. During "Hans
and Gretel" they would shed tears con-
tinually.
The class of reading done is of a very
high order. A few communities have
asked that only non-fiction be sent. Es-
pecially on the other islands the people
are starved for reading and appreciate all
that is done for them. It is a satisfaction
to be told by them that books are their
life-savers. We are all looking forward
to the time when each island will have
its own collection with a certificated li-
brarian who can do the intensive library
work which the Territory so very much
needs and which the Library of Hawaii
through its traveling libraries has not
been able to do.
An act providing for the establishment,
maintenance, regulation and govern-
ment of county free libraries and
county public libraries, and making
an appropriation for the assistance of
the same.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
Territory of Hawaii :
Section 1. The boards of supervisors
of the several counties of the Territory of
Hawaii shall have power to establish and
maintain, within their respective counties,
county free libraries, in the manner and
with the functions prescribed in this Act.
Sec. 2. Following the establishment of
a county free library the board of super-
visors shall appoint a managing board for
such library, consisting of five in number.
Such managing board shall be appointed
for periods of two years, and shall serve
without compensation. The managing
board shall have general supervision and
control of the county free library ; and,
subject to law, may make general rules
and regulations for the government there-
of. They shall appoint the county libra-
rian as well as such others as may be
employed in operating the library, and
shall from time to time establish library
branches and stations. The managing
board shall submit to the board of super-
visors and to the board of trustees of the
Library of Hawaii, annual reports con-
cerning the library and its requirements,
v.'hich reports shall be incorporated in the
annual report of the trustees of the
Library of Hawaii and annually trans-
mitted to the Governor.
Sec. 3. The board of trustees of the
Library of Hawaii shall pass upon the
qualifications of all persons desiring to
become county librarians, and issue neces-
sary certificate of qualifications ; and to
this end may adopt rules and regulations
not inconsistent with law for carrying out
the purpose of this section. No person
shall be eligible to the office of county
librarian who has not received from the
board of trustees of the Library of Hawaii
a certificate of qualification. Such libra-
rian need not be a resident of the county
nor a citizen of the Territory, at the time
of appointment ; and persons of either sex
shall be eligible for certification for the
office of county librarian.
Sec. 4. Prior to entering upon the
duties of his office, the county librarian
shall file with the managing board the
usual oath of office, and give a bond, with
proper surety, in such sum as may be
determined by said managing board, for
the faithful performance of the duties of
his office. Subject to such rules and regu-
lations as may be adopted by the manag-
258
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
ing board, the county librarian shall build
up, and manage, according to accepted
principles of library management, a
library for the use of the people of the
county ; and shall recommend to the man-
aging board what books and other library
equipment should be purchased.
Sec. 3. The board of trustees of the
Library of Hawaii shall annually call a
convention of county librarians, to assem-
ble at such time and place as said trustees
may determine, with a view to discussing
questions pertaining to the supervision
and administration of county free libra-
ries, the laws relating thereto, and such
other subjects affecting the welfare and
interest of county free libraries as shall
properly be brought before such conven-
tion. It is hereby made the duty of
county librarians to attend and take part
in the proceedings of such conventions.
Sec. (i. The county librarian shall make
annual reports to the managing board
as to the condition of the county free
library, giving such statistical and other
information as may be called for by said
board, making such reports at such times
as the managing board shall direct.
Sec. 7. Instead of establishing a sep-
arate county free library, the board of
supervisors may enter into a contract with
the board of library trustees, or other
authority in charge, of a free library
already existing and operating within the
county ; and the board of library trustees,
or other authority in charge of such free
library, is hereby authorized to make such
contract with the board of supervisors.
Such contract may provide that the free
public library already existing and oper-
ating within said county shall assume the
functions of a county free library within
the county with which such contract is
made ; and the board of supervisors of
said county may agree to pay annually
into the library fund of said library such
sum as may be agreed upon. Either
party to such contract may terminate the
same by giving six months' notice of its
intention to do so.
Sec. S. The following sums are hereby
appropriated out of any moneys in the
territorial treasure for assistance in main-
taining such county free public libraries
during the 1921-1923 biennial period,
namely :
1. County of Maui $20,000 00
2. Countv of Kauai 16,000 00
3. County of Hawaii 25,000 CO
The said sums hereby appropriated
shall be disbursed on warrants drawn
on the treasury upon vouchers approved
by the chairman of the managing board
or board of trustees of such county free
libraries.
It is provided, however, that the fore-
going appropriations shall not be avail-
able to any such county free library until
the Governor of Hawaii has certified
to the auditor of the territory that there
has been established in such county upon
a permanent site acquired for that pur-
pose, a county free library pursuant to
the provisions of this Act, or that the
contract provided for by Section 7 of this
Act has been entered into.
It is further provided that if in any
count.v a free public library has been es-
tablished and is in operation on a psr'na-
nent site, capable of serving the reading-
public of such county, and which free
public library will agree in writing with
the board of trustees of the Library of
Hawaii to serve, as far as reasonably
possible, the entire reading public of such
county, the sum hereby appropriated for
such county shall be available for the use
of such free public library in such county,
under its existing management and with-
out reference to the first proviso in this
section contained.
Sec. 9. The Library of Hawaii is
hereby directed and empowered u> assist
all such county free libraries and free
public libraries by the interchange and
loaning of books and other reading matter,
and in all other appropriate ways to the
fullest extent possible.
Sec. 10. This Act shall take effect
upcn its approval.

CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION MEETING.
By Essae M. Culver, Librarian, Butte County Free Library.
Cp in the high Sierras, by the "Lake
of the Sky : Lake Tahoe," the librarians
of the State met in annual convention,
June 11 to 15. The meeting was greatly
anticipated for two reasons. In the first
place our State President, whom we all
trusted, had announced there would be
an exceptionally good program and in the
second place the heat of summer had
descended upon' the valleys of California
and the prospect of a bracing coolness,
with possibly a snowstorm, made us all
eager to be away. I think that no more
can be said for any convention than that
no one was disapponted and the general
expression, when the twenty-sixth annual
meeting ended, was that it was one of the
very best ever held in California.
On Saturday, June 11, preceding the
State meeting, the county librarians met
to discuss problems peculiarly their own.
Owing to the lateness of the train in ar-
riving, the morning session was cut a
little short but allowed time for a brief
talk on the legislation of the year affect-
ing libraries by Mr Milton J. Ferguson,
State Librarian — Mr Ferguson was
scheduled for a talk on the same subject
on the program of the State meeting so
confined his discussion to the County
Librarian's salary bills — and for the dis-
cussion of the feasibility of the circula-
tion of motion picture films by the county
libraries, led by Miss Stella Huntington.
Mr Ferguson announced that Miss Cor-
nelia Marvin. State Librarian of Oregon,
was the guest of the convention and after
being introduced Miss Marvin spoke very
briefly upon her interest in county libra-
ries and in what California was doing to
blaze the trail for the other states in this
field. At the afternoon session Mrs Helen
Goss Thomas, map expert for Ginn &
Company, gave a very interesting, and at
the same time practical, talk upon mans
and map making which came as a very
real help to those librarians who are con-
fronted with the buying of maps for the
use of the schools. The subject of music
records for school use was delightfully
presented by Miss Cross, representative of
the Educational Department of the Co-
lumbia Graphophaiie Company, whose en-
thusiasm was contagious. Mrs Whitbeck,
librarian of Contra Costa County, led the
discussion upon the subject of entrance
requirements for assistants and while no
decision was arrived at each one received
help from the discussion according to his
needs.
The Sunday intervening between the
session of the county librarians and the
State meeting was a day of rest or recre-
ation as each one chose and in either case
was reported by everyone as having been
much enjoyed. Many took advantage of
the boat trip around the lake, while others
visited with old friends or just rested.
Sunday evening. Mr Arthur Pillsbury of
San Francisco, showed his remarkable pic-
tures of the Yosemite wild flowers and
delighted the nature lovers and knowledge
seekers by his intimate acquaintance with
the habits and history of the flowers of
this region.
To follow the sessions throughout giv-
ing adequate mention of every contribu-
tion to the programs would not be possible
in a brief report of the convention for
every talk, no matter how brief, was im-
portant, and each day was crowded with
talks.
The president in her annual report,
which opened the three days' sessions,
gave a summary of the progress through-
out the state for the year. Miss Provines
had visited all the districts and her sur-
vey was made from first hand observation
and intimate knowledge. Her keynote
was optimism for the future with founda-
tion in past progress and no one could
listen to such an address without feeling
inspired with hope and a new outlook.
Following Miss Provines Mr Clarke,
Librarian of Stanford University, who
has just returned from a trip around
the world, gave a very enjoyable glimpse
into the bookshops of London. Mr Clarke
has a gift for painting word pictures and
mention of his talk will always recall
vivid pictures of the shops visited and

acquaintances rather than far distant and
unknown persons. Pictures of the libra-
ries of all the countries in which Mr
Clarke traveled were shown to the con-
vention, with personal explanations, on
Tuesday evening.
Mr Ferguson, speaking on the library
legislation of 1921 stated briefly and con-
cisely the substance of bills passed and
touched upon the report of the Educa-
tional Committee of the State Legislature
which recommended that the library sys-
tem of the State be brought under the
State Board of Education. Mr Ferguson
voiced the feeling of all the librarians of
the State in stating his opposition to this
arrangement and in his feeling that while
the two institutions — the schools and the
libraries — are not rivals because their
work does not overlap, each would func-
tion better independently than under a
common head.
The Monday afternoon session was
given over to the subjects of Library
work with children and Music in the
library. Mrs Babcock, Librarian of Kern
County, made her audience keenly realize
the need for a county supervisor of the
children's reading, vividly picturing the
communities and isolated spots, to be
found in every county, where such a serv-
ice librarian could make the desert of
monotony into a wonderful garden of
books peopled with fairies, flowers and
all the things children love to read about.
Miss Alice Blanchard, of the Los Angeles
Public Library, made an appeal for more
effort on the part of libraries to counter-
act the effect of the sensational movie
advertising and the untrue-to-life pictures
before the child of today. Good books
were the suggested antidote and Miss
Blanchard advised the duplication of good
material rather than that quality should
be sacrificed for variety. Miss Blan-
chard's talk was indeed stimulating. Miss
Jessie Fredericks, of the San Francisco
Public Library, arranged the discussion of
the Treatment of music in the libraries
to show all the work being done in the
State by the different types of libraries.
Perhaps no library is doing more than the
San Francisco Public to preserve and
make available all scores, musical pro-
grams and clippings about music and
musicians. The Los Angeles Public, in
cooperation with the schools, is popular-
izing classical music and the county
libraries are sending music scores and the
best records into the remote places of the
state through the schools, clubs, farm cen-
ters and rural homes.
The evening of Monday was devoted to
round table discussions of different phases
of the library work, each one choosing to
attend the section devoted to his own par-
ticular work or enthusiasm whether it
happened to be cataloging, children's
library work, college, county, high school,
municipal or special libraries. The Li-
brary Trustees also met to discuss their
problems.
Tuesday morning's session presented for
consideration the problem of Educational
Standards for Librarians. Mr Charles S.
Greene. Librarian of the Oakland Public
Library, who was chairman of the Com-
mittee on Certification, presented a plan
for voluntary certification until such time
as sentiment would favor State legisla-
tion. The point of view of the Library
School, public, county, high school and
university libraries upon certification
were ably presented, all agreeing that if
the work was to be in any sense profes-
sional some standards were essential. The
advantages of continued study along pro-
fessional and other lines were also dis-
cussed.
On Tuesday evening, in addition to Mr
Clarke's address on "A Librarian at
Large," before mentioned, Mr Irving
Pichel of the Greek Theatre, University
of California, spoke upon "The Tenden-
cies in Modern Drama" and ended with
the partial reading of a play. Unfor-
tunately for many, Mr Pichel's address
came at the end of a rather long program
but that he had a most appreciative audi-
ence was evidenced by the fact that in
great discomfort from the cold a large
number not only stayed to the end but
wanted more and considered it one of the
treats of the convention.
Wednesday was the closing day and was
indeed a fitting climax. Snow fell and
made the landscape so entrancing every-
one found it hard to be indoors, neverthe-
less a goodly number attended the munic-
ipal libraries symposium which was con-
ducted by Miss Zaidee Brown, Librarian
of the Long Beach Public Library. Prob-

lems of advertising, ordering, salaries and
mutilation of books were among the sub-
jects discussed.
Perhaps the most enjoyable session of
the whole conference was that of Wednes-
day afternoon when Mr Robert G. Sproul,
Controller of the University of Califor-
nia. Miss Cornelia Marvin, State Li-
brarian of Oregon, Miss Margaret Hatch,
of the Standard Oil Company Library,
and Miss Rosamond Parma, of the
University Law Library, addressed the
convention.
In his effort to make his talk on the
business administration of a university of
greatest value to the library administra-
tors, Mr Sproul made clear his grasp of
the idea of the library functioning as a
"University of the People." He gave a
vivid bird's-eye view of the state-wide
business activities of California's great
University and it was not alone a busi-
ness-like presentation — it was inspiring.
With the address of our neighboring
State Librarian, Miss Marvin, we reached
the summit of the four days from which
we looked beyond our own borders into a
greatly extended field of activity. We
were reminded that Oregon, too, has its
county library system and if not as ex-
tended as that of California she can boast
the first county library on the Pacific
Coast. Miss Marvin's broad vision, com-
bined with a keen sense of humor, con-
vinced us that whatever Oregon's library
problems may be her State Librarian can
help her solve them. Greetings from the
Pacific Northwest Library Association
were brought by Miss Marvin together
with an invitation to a joint meeting of
the two associations as soon as it could
be arranged.
In her enthusiasm for the special
library, Miss Margaret Hatch visual-
ized and vitalized the work of the
strictly business library showing all the
possibilities for development. Every-
one had a better idea of the library re-
sources around San Francisco from Miss
Hatch's survey of that region.
Miss Parma's paper on the University
Law Library was very much enjoyed
and brought to a close the last program
of the last day.
The election of officers for the coming
year followed the program and resulted
as follows :
For president, Miss Althea H. Warren,
Librarian of the San Diego Public
Library.
For vice-president, Mr Sidney B.
Mitchell, of the University of California
Library.
For secretary-treasurer, Miss Eleanor
Hitt, Librarian of the San Diego County
Free Library.
The spirit of friendliness and good
will which pervaded the entire conven-
tion made everyone feel glad to be there
and too much credit can not be given to
the President of the Association for the
unlimited time and effort spent in plan-
ning and carrying out the program so
successfully. Too, as a presiding officer
Miss Provines was par-excellent.
Mention of the song contributions of
Mrs Arch Jack, of Fresno, has been
purposely omitted until now for fear our
enthusiasm, which arises whenever wi
recall the enjoyment of it, might ob-
scure the paramount issues of the meet-
ings. Mrs Jack, accompanied by Miss
Anne Belle Bailey, also of Fresno, sang
at the opening of each session. Her
voice, an unusually rich and sympathetic
soprano, pleased to such an extent that
an encore was invariably demanded and
it may not be amiss to say that it
was one of the greatest pleasures of the
convention.

RESUME OF THE LITERATURE OF CLASSIFICATION AND
CATALOGING, JANUARY, 1920 TO APRIL 15, 1921 *
By Roxana G. Johnson. Assistant, LTniversity of California Library, Berkeley.
While the subject of classification and
cataloging has not been extensively dis-
cussed in the library publications since
January 1920, valuable and interesting
books, articles and pamphlets have been
contributed.
Foremost in the field of classification is
the tenth edition of the Decimal classi-
fication. The Library Journal of
15 Feb., 1920 is devoted largely to ar-
ticles having reference to the classifica-
tion. Mr Dewey in "Decimal classifi-
cation beginnings,'' relates his early in-
terest in aiding the people in gaining
education and in making available for
them the great mass of printed material.
He tells of his planning and working
out the Classification, and of its exten-
sive development through the aid of pro-
fessors, librarians and others interested
in various countries, through the work
of 43 years, through 10 editions, from
1000 headings to 30,000. He gives his
plans for insuring the use of the classi-
fication for the common good, and his
hopes in making it available in all lan-
guages. Miss Fellows in an article on
the Decimal classification says that the
10th edition came in response to an
imperative need since the 9th edition
was exhausted, and also to furnish a
scheme of subdivision for the literature
relating to the world war. In addition
to this scheme, an expansion has been
given to the subject of agriculture, and
many minor changes have been made
throughout the entire work. Mr Hill
in "Decimal classification reminiscences"
gives his experience in classifying the
Lowell Public Library in the early
eighties by the Decimal classification.
Interesting items concerning the classi-
fication were found — one, that the
League of nations library adopted the
Decimal classification with the Brussels
modification — another, that one of the

main decisions of the International
congress of bibliography at Brussels was
io urge the adoption and spread of the
Decimal classification.
Miss Elsie Basset in the Law Library
Journal, January, 1920, in an . article,
"Shelf classification of foreign law books,"
outlines the methods used in the Columbia
university law library where between ten
and eleven thousand volumes are classed
in a temporary fashion according to a
modified Decimal classification.
Henry Vincent Hubbard and Theodora
Kimball are authors of "Landscape archi-
tecture, a comprehensive classification
scheme for books, plans, photographs,
notes and other collected material," pub-
lished by Harvard university press. This
classification was worked out primarily
for use with the extensive collection of
the Harvard school of landscape architec-
ture library, and was eight years in the
making.
The 3d edition of James Duff Brown's
Manual of library economy, extensively
revised and greatly enlarged by W. C.
Berwick Sayers, was published. Division
VIII discusses systematic classification
schemes, cataloging methods, rules and
cOdeSj mechanical methods of displaying
catalogs, filing and indexing.
Mr Merrill, in an article. "An Ameri-
can view of the alphabetic mnemonic
classification." in the Library World.
Jan. 1920. reviews a system of classifi-
cation devised by Mr Robinson Smith
of England.
"Library of Congress classification for
college libraries." by Mr Hanson in Li-
brary Journal 15 Feb. 1921, is an article
written in answer to a request for an
opinion as to the advisability of using
the Library of Congress classification in
college libraries, the smaller as well as
the larger. The article includes a dis-
cussion of various classifications, and
enumerates the advantages and disad-
vantages of the Library of Congress
classification.

The Grosvenor Library Bulletin, Sept.
1920, states that some 70 libraries are
using the Library of Congress classifi-
cation.
The books and pamphlets on library
economy which have been published con-
tain chapters of interest.
Mr Dana's "Library primer," 1920,
gives a clear and simple statement with
illustrations of the methods of classifying
and cataloging the books in a small
library. He gives an alphabetic list of
all the entries required for cataloging
nine titles.
"The business library, what it is and
what it does," 2d ed. 1921, by Miss
Krause, devotes several pages to the
classification and cataloging of business
libraries.
"Pamphlets and clippings in a business
library." by Miss Fairfax, discusses the
making available of the material in a
business library.
Miss Wilson's "School library manage-
ment," gives twenty pages to "The cata-
logue— its contents and construction,
arrangement and use."
J. H. Friedel, in "Training for libra-
rianship," discusses the importance of
having a collection properly classified and
cataloged.
Miss Price, in the first number of the
University High School Journal, Jan.
1921, considers the cataloging of high
school libraries.
Mr Raney, in "Cataloging while you
wait," Library Journal 15 Sept. 1920,
quotes a bulletin sent out by Longmans,
Green and Co. in Sept. 1920, announcing
a new service to libraries — the selling of
L. C. cards for books purchased either
direct or through a bookseller — the cards
to be sent with the books. The object of
the plan is to hasten the cataloging of
books in order to make them available
for the public as soon as possible. Mr
Raney urges librarians to make clear
their appreciation for this service, and
expresses the hope that it will be ex-
tended by other publishers.
The Library Journal, July, 1920, gives
a brief outline of the papers presented
at the A. L. A. meeting of June, 1920,
showing that a wide range of cataloging
subjects was presented.
The A. L. A. proceedings for 1920
gives Miss Hermann's paper. "County
libraries and their catalog problems,"
which is a resume of the catalog and its
uses in the San Diego County Library.
Another paper by Zana K. Miller gives
many practical suggestions for the elimi-
nation and modification of various cata-
loging processes.
Public Libraries gives several notices
of changed titles and slightly different
titles of books, the April and November
numbers containing two lists by Miss
Hitchler.
The Library World. Jan. 1921, con-
tains an article by D. T. B. Wood
describing his new method and apparatus
for filing cards in a circular rotating car-
rier. An article in the Library Journal
15 Mar. 1921. discusses the plan.
Mr Henry Guppy contributed a series
of "Special lectures for library assistants
and others on cataloging and classifica-
tion" in the Library association record
of Jan., Mar.. April, 1920.
The Library Association Record of Jan.
1920, gives the subjects for essays for
the Library association examination, the
one on classification being entitled, "The
value of a knowledge of classification in
general education." Of the 30 who
entered the examination, 24 passed. The
subject for the cataloging essay was, "A
short history of the schemes for co-oper-
ative cataloging, with a review of present
possibilities of such schemes." Of the
OS who entered. 42 passed. A later notice
in the Record of Aug. 1920, states that
of the 98 students who entered the Li-
brary school in the session of 1920, 21
who entered in Cataloging and indexing.
IT passed, and of the 10 who entered in
Classification, S passed.
Library Journal 1 Mar. 1920, gives an
interesting note telling of the method
used by the librarian of a small library
in Lisbon, New Hampshire, in securing
a list of the books in the library in lieu
of a card catalog.
"Cataloguers' salaries," by Ethel Bond
in April. 1921, Public Libraries, gives the
result of an investigation made of begin-
ning salaries received by 66 former stu-
dents of the University of Illinois library
school engaged in cataloging.

Several scholarly catalogs have been
published. The catalog of the late John
Henry Wrenn, compiled by Harold B.
Wrenn, and ed. by Thomas J. Wise,
published in 5 volumes by the University
of Texas, was perhaps the most extensive.
The library, which now belongs to the
University of Texas, is a collection of
English and American poetry and the
poetic drama.
Part two of volume one of the John
Carter Brown library of Brown Uni-
versity has just been issued.
Ruth Grannis, in Library Journal
15 Jan. 1920, contributes an interesting
article about this library which was given
to Brown university, together with an
endowment of $500,000. The library is
the only important library in the United
States devoted to collecting Americana
printed before the 19th century, and is
the largest and most valuable independ-
ent library of early Americana. The
catalog when complete will include all
the books, pamphlets, maps and manu-
scripts in the library. The space of
five years has been allotted for the com-
pletion of the work.
Two volumes of the catalog of the
library of the William Andrews Clark,
Jr. Library, located in Los Angeles, col-
lated and compiled by Robert Ernest
Cowan and William Andrews Clark, Jr.,
published by Nash, were issued. This
library is a collection of English litera-
ture, one volume of the catalog is
arranged chronologically and covers a
part of Early English literature, 1519-
1700, the other covers Modern English
literature.
A supplementary list of additions and
corrections to the checklist or brief cata-
logue of the English books 1475-1640, in
the Henry E. Huntington library, comp.
by George Watson Cole, was issued.

One of the most important educational
agencies in Monterey County is the
county library. During the seven years
that it has been in operation it has
proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that
its- service is eminently worth while.
It is of inestimable value to the schools
as well as to the general public. The
charts show the service that it renders.
Probably no institution in the county
gives such large returns in proportion
to the cost. The people of Monterey
County can make no better investment
for the general welfare of the county,
and especially the welfare of the chil-
dren, than that made through the county
library.

education, by Arthur Walter, Supt. Salinas City Schools and Chairman Monterey
County Board of Education. Cuts loaned by Mr Walter. These charts may prove
suggestive to other counties as a graphic way of showing progress.

A meeting of the County Library at-
tendants of Alameda County Library,
with twenty or more in attendance, was
held in the County Library headquarters
in the Hall of Records in April. The
early part of the meeting was given
over to talks of special interest to rural
communities. Mrs Campbell of the Ex-
tension Department of the University of
California talked on class and corres-
pondence work that is given by the
University in any part of the State on
request and by arrangement. Mrs An-
derson, social service worker at the
Bethlehem Steel Works, told of the
kinds of books asked for by her workers
ond by those injured ones who have
time to read. The list was a revelation
to many because of the great variety
of subjects the men are interested in.
These books have all been supplied from
the County Library or borrowed from
the State Library. Mrs Cole, the at-
tendant at the Thousand Oaks Branch,
told of the success she had had in the
publicity of the branch in her commu-
nity. She gave to the meeting many
new ideas. Miss McKinnon of the
Medical Branch told of the books and
material that all could borrow from her
special library because they were all a
part of the County library system. The
second part of the meeting was given

over to a question box and these same
questions and answers cleared up many
problems for the attendants. A light
lunch was served so that none would
return home hungry.
The San Leandro school joined the
County Library in February. It is
one of the larger schools of the county
having at present 29 teachers with a
prospect of more in the fall.
Six students of the University of Cali-
fornia Library School have been doing
practice work in the county library
office. These students are planning to
do county library work.
Three auto loads of University of :
California library students were given a
chance to see county library work in
process. Libraries of various types were
visited — Ilayward a town library work-
ing with the County, the Castro Hill or
brooder branch showing the possibility
of using what is to be had, Pleasanton,
a library once a club and town library,
now given over entirely to the County
Library, and the Arroyo, a county in-
stitution for tubercular patients, where
there are three branches, one for the
employees and nurses, one for the chil-
dren, and one for the older patients.
The students came away, so they said,
not sadder but wiser.

The most important thing that has
happened to the library in the past
eight years is the change recently made
in the library offices. There have been
two. upheavals in the past due to flood,
and changes in the rooms from enlarge-
ment. Now at the beginning of the
ninth year, the library finds itself in
very commodious and attractive rooms,
well appointed in every detail. Several
very convenient pieces of furniture have
been devised, notably movable stands for
the two United States catalogs and sup-
plements, and an easily moved long
assembling table.
The librarian as President of the
Martinez Women's Club attended the
State Federation of Women's Clubs held
in Yosemite Valley in May.
On the way home from the California
Library Association meeting Miss Had-
den and Miss Topping of the Monterey

Miss Sarah E. McCardle, Lib'n.
In April a visit was made to some of
the branches in the foothills, the first
stop being made at Dunlap, where we
took stock of the books. From there
we visited the New Hope, Deer Park
and Miramonte schools, finding each in
good condition. We finished the day by
riding up to the snow and having a fine
time snow balling.
The Branch Department has had a
busy quarter taking stock at as many
of the branches as possible, the work
being completed at seven.
It has been necessary to close the In-
ternational Branch on account of losing
our room. So far we have not been able
to find another in that locality and are
waiting for some of the enterprising
people of the community to build a
house for our use. Plans have been
drawn and we hope soon to see the
work started. The Barstow Colony
Branch has been closed also. This was
used almost entirely by the school chil-
dren and we will have a branch in con-
nection with the school, in the fall.
At the request of the Standard Oil
Company, we have established branches
at their pumping stations in the county,
five in number. The men are enthusi-
astic about the books and we are glad
to be able to furnish them. The books
are in each case in charge of the chief
engineer and are placed in the club
house. The West Side Branch was es-
tablished April 1.
The latter part of May, Miss McCardle
and Miss Harris, Head of the Branch
Department, visited the mountain
branches. The summer branches at Hun-
tington Lake and Sierra Chautauqua were
established and the branch at Shaver
moved into its summer quarters. We
are very sorry to lose Mrs Larrabee, our
custodian at Shaver, but her husband, an
engineer in the employ of the Southern
California Edison Company, has been
transferred. Mrs Larrabee has done a
FRESNO CO.— Continued,
most excellent and interesting work with
the men in the camp at Shaver. The
branch will be in charge of Miss Mar-
guerita Leddy during the summer. Other
branches visited were those at Big Creek
and Tollhouse, several schools, and the
Southern California Edison camps, #31,
#32, #30 and #61. This part of the trip
was made in company with Mr Mathews,
who has charge of the recreational fea-
tures of the camps, which are carried on
very much as was done in the camps
during the war.
We were visited during the quarter by
Miss Clara Dills of the Solano County
Free Library and by Miss Helen Vogle-
son of the Los Angeles County Free Li-
brary.
Miss Constance Bentson, custoaiau or
the Oleander Branch has returned to her
old home in Denmark and her place has
been filled by Mrs Ida Reed. Miss
Foulke of the Firebaugh Branch has re-
signed and Mrs Gertrude Rogers has been
appointed to the position. Mrs E. L.
Oaks, of Kerckhoff Branch has also re-
signed and Mrs W. W. Goldsworthy has
been appointed to the position. Miss
Helen Downs and Miss Anne Kennedy
have been added to the staff at the main
library.
Miss McCardle and ten assistants at-
tended the meeting of the Fourth District
at Modesto April 19, making the trip by
machine. Miss McCardle, Miss Harris,
Miss English, Miss Meredith and Miss
Bailey attended the annual meeting of
the California Library Association at
Lake Tahoe.

Los Angeles Co. Free Library, Los
Angeles. Miss Celia Gleason, Lib'n.
The Training School Class of the Los
Angeles Public Library made its annual
series of visits to the County Library.
The head of each department talked on
her special work ; the assistant librarian
outlined the California County Free Li-
brary Law, particularly as applied to Los
Angeles County ; and Miss Mary L. Jones
gave a general survey on the development
of libraries in Los Angeles County.
Miss Vogleson gave three talks during
the quarter; to the Montebello High
School on Library Work as a Profession ;
to the San Gabriel Woman's Club on
The Personality of Authors as Found in
Their Books ; and to the Claremont meet-
ing of the San Antonio Club of Southern
California on the Work of the Los An-
geles County Free Library.
Since January 1, 1913, the Central
Office has been located on the 10th
Floor of the Hall of Records. After
growing to more than the capacity of the
old quarters the library was moved May
10, 1921. The new location on the ground
floor of the Broadway Annex, Hall of
Records, provides more than double the
old space and better lighting facilities.
The greatest advantage gained is that the
Office and the Teachers' Library are now
much more accessible, and all freight can
be sent in and out directly to the auto-
mobiles or the drays.
A pension system for employees of Los
Angeles County has been adopted by the
Board of Supervisors. This plan, author-
ized by the State Legislature two years
ago, provides that every regular employee
should be eligible to retirement when he
has reached the age of 60 years, or after

35 years of service. Each employee par-
ticipating will have $4 per month de-
ducted from his month's salary, the
county setting aside an equal fund, thus
providing an average pension of $500 per
year. If any employee resigns before he
becomes a pensioner, the amount paid in
by him will be refunded with interest at
the rate of 4 per cent.

Long Beach.
§||Long Beach [Free] Public Li-
brary. Miss Zaidee Brown, Lib'n.
The library now has a file of material
on the men who enlisted from Long Beach
during the war. This includes replies
to questionnaires, newspaper clippings,
photos, and miscellaneous material.
The local branch of the American Le-
gion has published a history of Long
Beach in the war, and its historian col-
lected much of this material, and added
it to what the library already had. It
is filed in a vertical file, with a folder for
each man, and makes an unusually full
record. The drawers in which it is filed
are kept locked.
During the quarter, the Art Gallery
showed exhibits by the Print-makers'
Club, by Charles Howard Clawson, and a
collection from the County Art Museum.
Mr and Mrs Frank B. Sturge have
added to their previous generous gifts of
paintings and Oriental vases. They have
presented to the library six Chinese vases
that are about £000 years old. Such
vases are very rare in this country and
this gives Long Beach one of the uotable
collections.
The total circulation for the year was
518,325 books and magazines, an increase
of 15 per cent over the preceding year.

ant librarian in the Barlow Library. In
the last six months there have been en-
rolled niue new patron members, and
thirty-one annuals. The librarians have
been busy rearranging and cataloging
the books and journals.
A committee of members, headed by
Dr H. E. Schiffbauer, has worked many
days examining books and discarding some
hundreds of duplicate volumes, and old
medical works which have no historical
value, thus making room on the shelves
for the newer volumes which have been
added.
The latest gift to the library was a
beautifully bound set of Transactions of
the American Association of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists, donated by Dr R. E.
Skeel formerly of Cleveland, but who is
now located in Los Angeles.

The Library of the Society, Sons of the
Revolution, the Repository of the
Sor.thwest has added since the first
of the year nearly 400 volumes, more
than half being family histories and gene-
alogies. The remainder are mostly town,
local and special histories for many parts
of the country. Our new membership
growth so far this year is nearly three
or four months ahead of any former year
as to e umbers. Seventy-five since Janu-
ary 1, is a fine showing, and at the rate
they are coming in, we may look for the
biggest year in our history from that
standpoint.
The Society is investing several
hundred dollars in a new United States
Flag, and a new Society Standard, both
being made to harmonize as to size,
material and other things.
We are beginning to feel crowded in
our present quarters. While it is possi-
ble to add shelving for nearly three
thousand more books, it will utilize wall
space that we have been using for other
things. Our lease on present quarters
expires in about IS months, but a two-

year extension is optional with us. This
we will no doubt exercise, for many
reasons. Our location is very central,
being but half a block from the public
library in the very heart of Los Angeles.
The April issue of the Liberty Bell,
our official publication, started the first
installment of the Births, Marriages and
Deaths as recorded officially in Los An-
geles County, from first entries to end of
1900. They are carefully checked, and
edited in that births in the same family
are placed next to one another.

cently from the cataloging department of
Cornell Library, and graduate, in the
class of 1919, from Los Angeles Library

including the Selden Society reports.
This makes the library of the College of
Law. University of Southern California,
one of the largest in the state, and like-

to the Library by the "Latham founda-

tion."
Miss Helen E. Haines gave two book
talks for the public on "Standard novels"
and "American life in fiction" ; also one
to the staff on "Mystery stories." Miss
Eleanor Hague, editor of books on folk
songs gave a talk to the staff on "Polk
music."
An exhibit of about twenty-five abused
books was placed in the front hall for
several weeks.
A selection of 180 wood-block prints,
etchings and lithographs from the Inter-
national Print Makers' Exhibition was
held in April.
The Woodcraft League met in the Chil-

§||Pomona [Free] Public Library.
Miss Sarah M. Jacobus, Lib'n.
A special display of books about busi-
ness and allied topics was made in April.
Assuming that the members of the Cham-
ber of Commerce were most likely to be
alive to their value, these men were
written personal letters, inclosing a short
list of books.
Story hours are now held both at the
Branch and at the Main Library. For
some of these, the story is read, not
told. This method of presentation seems
to be as well liked by the audience, and
costs the library much less in time of
preparation.
The library bought and displayed ten
colored reproductions of modern Swedish
paintings. Local Swedes volunteered so
much aid that a special Swedish evening
was given. The concert consisted of
Swedish records lent by a countryman.

Many beautiful and valuable articles,
jewelry, clothing, embroidery, household
linens, wood-carving, pictures, were
brought in for exhibition. After the
public part of the evening, the Swedes
remained for a social hour. The occasion
was worth while as calling attention of
the community to a valuable constituent,
and as making local Swedes known to
each other.
Miss Fern Hartman resigned June 1,
to be married June 30 to Donald Lyman.
Her place is to be filled in August by
Miss Annice Healton, Los Angeles Li-
brary School 1921.
Members of the staff have been taking
lessons in poster-making and sign-making,
on library time, so that the institution
be not left without anyone expert in these
arts. Miss Hartman has given the les-
sons. In March the library workers were
granted an hour a week to do cultural
and professional reading. A question-
naire June 1 showed that most were
using the time on historical and literary
studies, that all made some provision for
looking over our own book acquisitions,
and that some at least had been directly
helped in serving patrons by their study.
This reading hour is scheduled to each at
a given time, just as are desk appoint-
ments, and all are required to observe it
rigorously. A further inquiry will be
made in the fall to determine whether or
not to continue the practice.

The work of classification has been
completed and the new catalogs are
printed. The Library is now operating
under the Dewey decimal system. This
has proved of immense advantage to
patrons of the Library, especially those
who are pursuing University courses and
find their greatest use of this department
in the demand for books of reference or
books bearing on their studies. For such
as these the efficiency of the Library has
been greatly augmented.
Owing to the hard use given the books
by the inmates of the prison, the num-
ber of volumes to be discarded from time
to time is necessarily very large. This
is especially true among books of fiction,
which meet with a large demand ; and as
a consequence the Library is in great
need of a few hundred volumes of modern
fiction. The percentage of other works
drawn by the men is very gratifying,
making up about half of the issue, which
approximates 7800 volumes monthly.
This is an increase of fully one hundred
per cent over the average issue of a
year ago.

pointed to arrange for the program for
the next meeting July 11. It was de-
cided to have at each meeting a short talk
on some subject that was vital, of about

We do not seem to be doing anything
very startling at present — just pegging
along — trying to keep things going with-
out sufficient help and money, just as two
or three other libraries we know of are
doing. We're not complaining however
for there are compensations.
We have an organization meeting
within our gates, in fact the Grand-
mothers' Club was organized in our li-
brary one day and was the outcropping,
so to speak, of the Friendly Bible Class
of the Presbyterian church. This class
is composed of elderly women and some
not so elderly ; some grandmothers and
some not grandmothers. They wanted to
meet at the library and talk over books
one afternoon a week. So they organized
but the "not grandmothers" wouldn't be
squelched and would attend so out of
courtesy the name was changed. We
think we are the only library in exist-
ence however which has had a really-
true grandmothers' club in its history.
While we are a grandmother, we were
not invited to attend!
We have added four metal waste-paper
baskets to our equipment and, will as
soon as the weather permits, have a
couple of ornamental plants for each side
of our front steps.
The librarian was in attendance at
Lake Tahoe convention. To our knowl-
edge only one other librarian from San
Bernardino county was present. Mrs
Haddow, our assistant, was in charge
during the absence of the librarian.
What is the most nearly perfect, or
the perfect door spring, or check? Much
to the embarrassment of our library fund,
we've been trying to find out.

The second death to occur on this li-
brary staff in the thirty-eight years of our
history was that of Miss Nina T. Wad-
dell, Librarian of the La Jolla Branch.
She was greatly beloved by the people
of her community who realized that her
capable management and unselfish devo-
tion were responsible for their beautiful
new library building to be completed in
September. With its museum and art
gallery, its open-air reading court, its
children's room, circulating department
and reference alcove, this building will
be her memorial.
Th? twenty members of the Los An-
geles Library School visited San Diego
April 2G and 27. The staff of our library
entertained them at afternoon tea in the
Business Department, and they also vis-
ited the County, Normal School, High
School and Coronado Public Libraries.
Miss Harriet Pritchard, in charge of the
system of elementary school libraries be-
ing organized in Detroit, was with their
party and addressed our staff on the
morning of April 27, giving an inspiring-
survey of her new work.
As head of the Business Department
Miss Mollie Van Wagenen this month
carried out two programs with the public
library as their theme at the weekly lun-

Club. The members of the board of li-
brary trustees, the librarian and Miss
Van Wagenen were guests at the Ad Club
meeting. All members who did not own
library cards were fined and applications
were forced upon them on the spot. The
chairman then asked certain luckless
members if they had read a recent book
on their business and fined them when
they had not. Miss Warren gave a short
history of the San Diego public library,
showing how it was the business men in
the early days who started it. Mrs

library board, expressed the present tense
of our institution by a quotation from
(he autobiography of Andrew Carnegie.
Senator E. E. Hendee, president of the
board, foretold its future, with emphasis
on the growing service for children.
At the Rotary Club a book for every
member was at his place. Cards had
been issued to all who did not already
hold them. The titles selected were most
of them in festive vein. "Winning of
the west" was given to the real estate
man; "Free air," to the owner of a chain
of service stations ; "Shavings," to a
barber shop proprietor; "Ragged messen-
ger," to the manager of the Western
Union ; "Songs of dogs," to the veteri-
nary ; "Eyes of the world," to the optician ;
and a government pamphlet on "Butcher-
ing, curing and killing," to a distin-
guished surgeon. Members were re-
quired to gue.ss for whom certain titles
were intended. Miss Van Wagenen gave
a talk on valuable material in her de-
partment, and a dramatic reading from
Stephen Leacock, an author to refresh
the "tired business man," closed the pro-
gram.
According to custom, staff meetings are
being held four mornings a Aveek from
8.30 to 9 during June, July and August.
Each principal assistant has a fortnight
in which to present an outline of her
department, giving problems and a final
written test, and emphasizing additions
or changes of the present year. Library
time is allowed for the course. Elemen-
tary training in cataloging, alphabeting,
book selection and mending are also given

meeting held July 2, 1921.
The Library has suffered an irrepara-
ble loss in the death of Miss Nina T.

librarian since 1905. From a small be-
ginning, with a few hundred books, under
her capable management it has grown to

a library of over 5000 volumes. Her
intelligence, untiring devotion and vision
for its future are largely responsible for
the magnificent building that is now near-
ing completion. It is a tragedy that she,
who spent herself so unsparingly for the
Library, and had such splendid plans for
the utilization of the new building and
service to the community, is denied the
privilege of witnessing its completion
and the fulfillment of her plans.
Miss Waddell began with a salary of
§10 per month and never received over
$50 per month ; in fact, $35 was the
maximum until two and a half years
ago. With her the Library was a labor
of love for over sixteen years. She con-
tinued her work until May 8, when she
wrote to the president : "I regret greatly
that I have fallen by the wayside and
am absolutely obliged to take a rest for
a month. My doctor says my trouble has
been growing for a long time but I have
fought against it until I have reached
my limit." A few days later she entered
the La Jolla Sanitarium, and an opera-
tion disclosed that she had been suffering
for a long time with an incurable dis-
ease, from which she died the afternoon of
June 22, 1921.
Miss Waddell was born in Port Hope,
Ontario, Canada, on November 12, 1855;
studied library work at the Armour In-
stitute, Chicago, and came to La Jolla in
1902. She was a communicant of the
church of St. James-by-the-Sea from its
organization, being for four years a mem-
ber of the Women's Auxiliary to the Ves-
try. In addition to her great work for
the Library, she was an active member
of the La Jolla Women's Club, and
served one term as its president. She
was instrumental in establishing a public
rest room, and took an active interest in
raising money for the proposed Talent
Workers Free Hospital, which was later
added to the Frances Brown Fund to-
wards a room in the La Jolla Sanitarium.
While the sewer system in La Jolla was
being installed, there were about 00 men
working in La Jolla. Miss Waddell es-
tablished a reading room for those men,
called "Every Man's Club" which was
continued for the period of the work.

During the quarter, the most interest-
ing accomplishment was finishing the
copying of the Call Index cards for the
years 1904 to 1912 to fill in that gap in
the newspaper index at the State Library.
This had been started soon after the
Sntro Branch was open to the public in
1917. At least 184,000 cards were copied
and the last packages were sent to the
State Library April 8, 1921. The Call
office very generously allowed us to bor-
row a tray at a time, so that the copying
could be done when time could be spared
from the regular work of the Library.
It is hoped to arrange to copy local
San Francisco records that are important
and early enough to have a place in the
state historical collection in the Califor-
nia Department of the State Library.
Those interested in building up a San
Francisco historical collection are adding
continually to the small beginning made
at the Sutro Branch.

Form letters, personal in tone, were
sent to 45 fifth and sixth grade children
not registered at the library. Intended
primarily for enticing new children into
the library, the letter also contained a
paragraph aimed at catching the interest
of the parents. To date, 20' of these
children have come in for cards. The
indirect effect of these letters upon young
associates of the recipients is also be-
lieved to be considerable, but without
means of proof. The experiment will be
continued on a larger scale as soon as
names can be procured.
Cards were mailed to ninety-seven repre-
sentative business men, not registered at
the library, with request to return the at-
tached postal with answers to the fol-
lowing items : "What book, books or sub-
jects do you suggest for purchase by the
public library — (1) Relating to your field
of business or any phase thereof? (2)
Relating to any subject (or hobby) in
which you are interested?" The widely
varied replies have served as a barometer
for purchasing, showing first hand what
classes of books are needed from the
standpoint of the immediate public. The
purchasing of books thus recommended
has also proved a tangible method of
bringing these people into the library.

Two new community branches have
been established this quarter, one at
Abandon, and one in the San Simeon dis-
trict, in the northern part of the county,
which will serve those persons dwelling
in the neighborhood of San Carpojo
Creek. Pleasant Valley, Oakdale, and
Pismo Schools also have joined the li-
brary. In April the county superintend-
ent of schools turned over to the county
library the teachers' library which had
outgrown his office and his ability to care
for it. The fund will hereafter be han-
dled by the library.
The first custodians' meeting which this
county has held took place in April. A
few of the custodians were unable to
attend. Those who did. however, ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased that the
affair is to be an annual one, and proph-
esied full attendance at later gatherings.
There was no formal program, since the
first need seemed to be to get acquainted.
The effort was made to have simply a
"Get-together Day," and that it suc-
ceeded is testified to by the increasing co-
operation of the various branches. The
visitors asked many questions about the
work, familiarized themselves with "head-
quarters*' and its resources, and spoke
freely of any problems facing them. Dis-
cussion of these problems and of other mat-
ters which had come to the attention of
the main office helped to clear away a
good many difficulties which the custo-
dians had been facing. The visitors were
the guests of the county at luncheon.
New furniture in the form of a Library
Bureau wing charging desk, a supply
cabinet, a packing table, and much new
shelving has been added. The insistent
growth of the library, however, renders
the stacks ever inadequate, so that even
now, while we are on the point of put-
ting up our new five-section Library Bu-
reau shelving, we plan desperately how we
can manage until we get six sections
more.
The school branches have been serving
the communities to such an extent that
several branches — Creston, Bee Rock and

Cholame — have made arrangements for
summer service.

The Sutter County Free Library had
its booth at the annual farm bureau pic-

caused the most interest in the booth this
year was a chart which showed the cir-
culation record from the time the library
was established until the present time.
The record was graphed on graphing
paper which caused the increases and
decreases to stand out very clearly. This
also showed the months in which the in-
creases and decreases were made. The
men were particularly interested in this
chart and asked many questions as to the
reasons for the ups and downs on it.

We find on compiling our annual statis-

creased 2382 over that of last year. This
seems to be due to a better and more
conspicuous arrangement, and a more lib-

We have mounted and prepared for
circulation 163 pictures, among them a
large number of Biblical subjects. These
are circulating well. A club has taken
some, a church summer school is using
them to good advantage, and they were

DIRECTORY FOR LIBRARY SUPPLIES AND OTHER ITEMS
OF GENERAL INTEREST.
Many public libraries waste a great
deal of time and money before they find
good places to get supplies. The plan is
to give all libraries the benefit of the
experience of the older libraries of the
State by listing under different heads the
houses that have been found to give sat-
isfaction, the names and addresses being
furnished by the older and larger libraries
of California. In this way suggestions
will be given as to where different sorts
of books may be bought, where books may
be rebound or periodicals bound, where
library furniture may be bought, etc.,
both in California and in the East.
If any information is needed about the
firms listed below which can not be ob-
tained from the firms themselves, the
names of the libraries recommending the
different ones will be sent to any library
upon application to the State Library.

DISTRICT MEETINGS.
First and Second Districts Meeting.
The First and Second Districts of the
California Library Association held a
joint meeting in Oakland, April 23, 1921.
Nearly two hundred persons were present
at one or more of the sessions. There
were about ninety in attendance at the
five round tables, and one hnundred
seventy-five at the afternoon session, in-
cluding fifteen librarians from the Third
District. Among the guests at the lunch-
eon and the afternoon meeting was a
delegation of students from the University
Library School at Berkeley.
The morning hours from ten-thirty to
twelve were spent in five round table dis-
cussion groups. Miss Lucie C. Nye
served as chairman of the Branch Li-
brarians Round Table, Miss E. A. Hed-
rick, chairman of the Catalogers, Miss
Helen H. Jackson, chairman of Children's
Librarians, Miss Elisabeth S. Madison,
chairman of School Libraries, and Miss
Lillian McKinnon, chairman of Special
Libraries. A reluctance to close the round
table discussions at the hour for lunch
was a fair indication of the enthusiastic
interest with which matters of importance
to all were discussed. Reports from
every group tell of a desire to have a
permanent organization, with the follow-
ing officers already chosen : Special Li-
braries, Miss Lillian McKinnon, chair-
man. Miss Hildegarde Fliigel, secretary ;
Branch Libraries, Miss Lucie C. Nye,
chairman ; and School Libraries, Miss Ed-
na M. Browning, chairman, and Mrs Ger-
trude H. Mathewson, secretary.
After luncheon, which was served to
one hundred twenty-two guests at the
Y. W. C. A., the ■ afternoon session was
called to order, by Miss Mabel W.
Thomas, President of the First District,
in the lecture room of the Oakland Public
Museum.
C. B. Joeckel, of the Berkeley Public
Library, was the first speaker of the
afternoon. His subject was, "The Salary
Campaign in the First and Second Dis-
tricts." Speaking in terms of a military
campaign, Mr Joeckel told of the Library
salary situation early in 1920, calling at-
tention to the large number leaving the
work and the few recruits available to
fill their places. The mission of the Li-
brary army was to improve conditions.
This was accomplished by collecting am-
munition of statistics and tables of data,
and turning this barrage on Library
boards. The result of the conflict was
a fairly general increase in library salar-
ies throughout the state, notably in San
Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. Where
salary schedules had not already been
made up the California Library Associa-
tion schedule of salaries was found to
have been materially helpful. In conclu-
sion Mr Joeckel said that we must de-
cide if further attacks are to be made in
the cause of libraries that have not yet
reached the California Library Associa-
tion schedule and recommended that libra-
ries adhere to the salary schedule recom-
mended at the Riverside Conference, as
their goal of accomplishment, and that all
who have not attained it should continue
to press forward.
The First District indorsed Mr Joeck-
el's report and recommendation.
Miss Stella Huntington of the Second
District gave a similar report for her
district, based on a questionnaire sent to
seven County Libraries and twenty-three
306
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [July, 1921
Public Libraries. The result of the ques-
tionnaire showed a better standard of
employment and an encouraging increase
in salaries since the California Library
Association schedule had been carried
back to the libraries.
Miss Edith Coulter was elected Nom-
inator from the First District, with
Charles S. Greene, as alternate.
"A Librarian at Large" was the sub-
ject of a paper by George T. Clark, Li-
brarian of Stanford University Library,
telling of his travels in the Orient, Italy,
France and England. Excellent slides
gave lasting memories of the large libra-
ries visited by Mr Clark.
Miss Nella Martin, director of the Uni-
versity of California Library School,
traced the growth of the Library School
at our State University. The course is
eventually to be for graduates only, who
should by that time know what vocation
they wish to follow. Applicants for train-
ing are never lacking, but the scarcity
of funds handicaps the work of the
School. Resolutions passed by the vari-
ous district meetings have helped in
arousing interest in the needs of the
school.
Interesting forecasts of the program for
the annual meeting at Tahoe Tavern
June 13-15, were given by Miss Provines.
Mr Ferguson found it necessary to re-
main in Sacramento on account of the
Legislature, but sent his greetings by
Miss Provines, who, in his stead, told of
the legislation of interest to librarians
that has already come before the Legisla-
ture and of other matters that will come
later. A reorganization of the present
educational system is being planned which
will place supreme power in the County
Boards of Education, and make the
county library systems a part of the
school organization under the boards of
education. Miss Provines protested
against the subordination of libraries
which would be involved in their incor-
poration with the school department, and
asainst any tampering by experimentation
with an organization which has been re-
garded in other states and in foreign
countries as an unique and successful ex-
ample of constructive library legislation.
The progress of certification in other
states was to have been outlined by Miss
Evelyn A. Steel, but illness prevented her
being present. Mr Greene introduced the
discussion on certification, expressing a
desire that California should not lag far
behind the five states that have already
adopted library certification. He com-
mended High School Library and County
Library certifications and said the Public
Libraries covet this asset for the library
profession. The present need is to find
the sentiment of the different districts,
in order that library people may stand
together if a bill for certification is in-
troduced in the Legislature two years
hence. Edna M. Bbowning
Secretary.
Third District Meeting.
A meeting of the Third District of the
California Library Association was held
on March 2S-', 1921, the morning session
being held at the San Francisco Public
Library and the afternoon session with
the First and Second Districts at the
Oakland Public Museum.
The principal talk of the morning ses-
: ion was by Charles S. Greene of the
Oakland Free Library on Certification of
librarians. All those present took part
in the discussion which followed, showing
a most decided interest in the subject.
The following resolution was adopted :
We, the members of the Third District
of the California Library Association, do
heartily endorse any practical ana non-
compulsory plan for the certification of
librarians in the State of California, thus
attesting our interest in and our willing-
ness to promote any feasible plan that
will set better standards for library work
and give wider recognition to our profes-
sion.
As Nominator from the Third District,
Miss L. Gertrude Doyle was chosen. The
meeting then adjourned for luncheon at
the Hotel Whitcomb.
Clara B. Dills,
Secretary.
Fourth District Meeting.
The Fourth District, California Library
Association, held its annual meeting April
IS). 1021, at McHenry Public Library, in
Modesto.
The meeting was called to order at
10.30 a.m. by the District President, Miss

Bessie B. Silver thorn. The minutes of
the last meeting were read and approved,
and a telegram from Milton J. Ferguson
was read, expressing regret that he could
not attend the meeting. Miss Cornelia
D. Provines, President of the California
Library Association, spoke regarding the
University of California Library School,
and the following resolutions were
adopted :
WHEREAS, the Librarians of the
Fourth District of the California Library
Association realize that there is an un-
precedented development in libraries in
California, and
WHEREAS, Librarians are finding-
great difficulty in filling vacancies in
city, county, high school, normal and
college libraries, and
WHEREAS, the California State Li-
brary School, recognizing the University
of California as the instituton of for-
mal instruction, has discontinued its
courses, and
WHEREAS, the courses in Library
Science at the University of California
have been conducted during the past
two years with insufficient support;
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Librarians of
the Fourth District of the California
Library Association strongly urge that
the University of California do every-
thing- in its power to develop a profes-
sional school for librarians at the Uni-
versity of California, and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this reso-
lution be sent to the President of the
University of California, and to the
Lhairman of the State Board of Control.
Miss Bigley spoke on the subject of
certification, and there was a discussion
of California Library Association mem-
bership, Miss McCardle of Fresno County
saying that it should be the professional
pride of every library worker iu Califor-
nia to belong to the Association, and that
the membership from every library should
be 100 per cent.
G. B. Shadinger gave an address on
"Community Service," explained what it
is, its aims, and how the library may
help.
A luncheon was served to members and
friends of the Association at Hotel Mo-
desto. The attractive place cards were
the work of the art students of the
Modesto High School.
At the afternoon session Miss Provines
opened with an address on the annual
meeting of the California Library Asso-
ciation which is to be held at Lake
Tahoe, June 13 to 15, 1921. She also
took the subject to have been presented by
Mr Ferguson, "Report of the special Com-
mittee on Education as it affects the
Libraries of the State."
"Plain publicity that pulls" was the
subject of H. O. Parkinson's talk. He
explained many methods which the Stock-
ton Publip Library had used to advertise
its service which brought results, direct
and indirect. A mimeograph had been
used for much of the material, and busi-
ness houses had been willing to display
the attractive posters printed by Gaylord
Bros., calling attention to the library in a
concise a^nd original manner. Reply
pest cards were sent to business and pro-
fessional men, attempting to interest
them in the books on the library shelves
dealing with their respective interests.
Mr Parkinson reported that about 10 per
cent of the reply post cards were returned.
This, he said was the usual percentage of
return from advertisements.
Miss Gladys English, of the Fresno
County Library, told of home reading
lists made up for the school children of
Fresno County. She quoted a delightful
bit from Rupert Hughes, a verse refer-
ring to some of those books which would
be, to the children reading them, "a pass-
port to the skies."
Following Miss English's talk, Rev
Harold S. Brewster gave a talk "Criti-
cal and miscellaneous," which included
both a keen analysis of that interesting
book "Main Street," and one of those
delightful informal talks, all too rare, of
many interesting things.
"High School Libraries" was the sub-
ject of Miss Esther Ramont's talk. She
told of the manifold duties of high school
librarians, of their many aspirations and
their several difficulties.

California Library Associatian was held
on Saturday, May 7, 1921. at the Univer-
sity Farm School, Davis.

REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
Beulah Mumm, in charge.
The Reference Department furnishes
information to any inquirer. It furnishes
books to public libraries on request of the
librarian, and to any other educational
institution on request of its official head
or its librarian ; to individuals through the
signature of a state officer, of the Li-
brarian of the local library or of the
official head of any other educational in-
stitution or on receipt of a $5.00 deposit ;
to a club or grange on request of its presi-
dent, secretary or librarian. In counties
having county free libraries, all requests
must be made through the county free
library.
A letter is being sent out to all the
librarians of city and of county libraries,
asking them to get for the State Library
programs of their clubs if they have study
outlines. These will be a great help in
answering requests for club programs
along definite lines. We realize that in
the last few years there is a growing ten-
dency not to print an entire year's pro-
gram before the season opens, as often
later necessary changes and unforeseen
opportunities to secure desired speakers
cause much confusion. In cases, however,
where the program is still outlined and
printed at the beginning of the season,
the librarians can aid greatly by securing
a copy and sending it to the State Li-
brary.
CATALOG DEPARTMENT.
Ida G. Munson, in charge.
During April, May and June 954 books
were cataloged and 6880 cards were
added to the file.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT.
jTjdora Gaeoutte, in charge.
The California Department aims to
have a thoroughly good collection of books
on the history and description, resources
and industries of the State, as well as the
works of California authors in all de-
partments of literature. These are made
accessible by means of a card catalog.
Full names and biographical sketches of
California authors, artists, musicians,
pioneers and early settlers are being
secured, together with their photographs.
The collection of bound periodicals is
quite large. The Department also con-
tains about 7000 bound volumes of news-
papers, a file of which is being indexed
with reference to the history of the State.
Students will be assisted in their work.
Pioneers and Early Settlers.
The cards of two pioneers of 1847 have
been added to the collection. John Lloyd
Terrv came around the Horn in 1847.

IT" was a native of Kentucky and had
also lived in Texas prior to coming to
California. The card states that '"he ex-
perienced much trouble on account of

NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Oct., 1921
CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES— ANNUAL STATISTICS AND
QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
During June annual report blanks were sent to all California
libraries listed. Statistics from these annual reports are printed in
this issue. Except when otherwise noted, statistics are for the period
from July 1, 1920, to June 30, 1921.
Many of the county libraries do not include supplementary books in
their circulation. We have endeavored this year to express this, when
it has been stated on the annual report. In the next statistics number
supplementary books will not be included in the circulation of any
county library, according to an agreement entered into at the June
1921 meeting of the California Library Association. This will give
far more uniform circulation figures.
Several counties this time have given on their branch slips figures
for other material besides books sent to branches. When such informa
tion has been given, we have printed it. There was, however, no place
made on the branch blanks for these statistics, which accounts for their
being given in only a few cases.
The annual statistics are followed by quarterly news items covering
the period July to October, 1921.
All libraries arc listed except elemen-
tary public schoo] and church libraries
and those which belong to private indi-
viduals. They are arranged alphabetically
by place under counties and counties are
arranged alphabetically. To determine
the county in which any place is located
see list following these introductory para-
graphs.
Those libraries are marked with an
asterisk (*) which are not free to the
public for either loan or reference pur-
poses.
Libraries marked with t are United
States depository libraries ; those marked
with § are depositories for the Official
Gazette of the Patent Office; those
marked with || are geological depositories;
those marked with ft are Library ox Conr
gress card depositories. This information
was revised in October, 192C.
When a branch has a reading room, it
is indicated by r. r. in the list of branches
under county free library.
The months after newspaper clippings
are abbreviated as follows :
January Ja July Jl
February P August Ag
March Mr September S
April Ap October O
May My November N
June Je December D
In order that the figures for circulation
may be uniform, current magazines are
included in the total whether reported
that way or not.
An effort is being made to have the
statistics uniform in reference to number
of branches. Any distributing point
through which service is given directly
from headquarters is counted as a branch.
For example, in a school with several
classrooms, if service is given directly to
each classroom separately, each room
served is counted as a branch. But, on
the other hand, if a school district has
joined and both school and community
service are given from one location, such
service is counted as two branches.
There are in California 44 county free
libraries (42 in operation) ; 5 library dis-
trict libraries ; 4 union high school dis-
trict libraries ; 139 libraries supported by
city taxation ; 59 towns or districts with
free public libraries that are included in
county free library service (33 under sec.
3, 2 under sec. 4, 12 under sec. 16, 12
under Pol. C, sec. 4041) ; 67 law libra-
ries, of which 55 are county law libraries ;
58 county teachers' libraries ; 369 libra-
ries in educational institutions, of which

6 are universities, 7 colleges, 7 state
teachers colleges, 285 public high schools,
64 private schools and other institutions ;
58 miscellaneous institution libraries and
Go association or society libraries ; 29
subscription libraries. In connection
with the above libraries are 41S2 branches
and deposit stations.
There are 21S library buildings, of
which 172 were gifts, and of these gifts
144 are from Andrew Carnegie.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
The new two-teacher school in Tenny-
son has joined the County Library. The
district has also asked for a county
branch in the near future and it is hoped
that it can be established. Livermore
with its ten teachers has become a part
of the County Library.
The branch at Mt. Eden, the only
upstairs branch in the county, has been

moved into new quarters on the ground
floor. Books ordered and delivered with
the groceries is still a feature of this
branch. The branch is next door to this
wide-awake groceryman who is the only
one in the village.
A new Salt Works branch has been
established upon request, at the California
Salt Works. The plant is a large one,
the largest in the county. Many white
men and Japanese are employed. Mrs
Jackson, an old time resident and an
interesting character in the community,
has taken charge. We hope to discover
while the branch is there why the water
is such a vivid pink. Some of the early
requests were interesting. A busy house-
wife's from an adjoining island first re-
quest was for a cook book. Search was
made and one was found in the first
shipment. Ben Hur was the second book
asked for and our one titled member, the
Count, wanted a chemistry.
Three small Standard Oil deposit sta-
tions have been started. We call them
S. O. deposits. Hayward, Livermore and
Irvington are the first to start. The
books are to serve the men doing special
study. Mary Barmby, Lib'n.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
At a regular meeting of the Council
of the city of Alameda Mr C. W. Griffin,
Library Trustee, was granted a leave of
absence of six months beginning Septem-
ber 1, 1921.
The library was fortunate in having
a column of the Alameda Municipal
Quarterly at its disposal for the publi-
cation of its yearly report. As the report
showed an increase of 13,685 in circu-
lation over the previous year, it was
especially gratifying to have this fact
mentioned in the Quarterly.
Since the opening of the school term,
the weekly story hour, with Mrs Evelyn
Webster in charge, has been resumed.
The result of this hour is shown in the
demand for the books discussed, and
also in an increase in membership.

ditions, thirty of the best students were
chosen to make up this year's class in
Library Practice. Twelve of these are
university graduates and the others all
seniors in the University, most of whom
will give practically their whole last year
to their vocational work. Under the cir-
cumstances we are making no special
campaign here for future students other
than advising applicants to take the
work in a graduate year, if at all possi-
ble, as we give preference to those who
already have the A.B. degree. Those
desiring the training of well educated
girls from their own sections might,
however, interest carefully picked students
in library work and in getting profes-
sional training. Three members of our
present class enrolled at the suggestion
of librarians who will, in all probability,
be able to offer them positions at home
when their training is completed.
No radical changes have been made in
any of the courses. Miss Delia J. Sisler,
sometime librarian of the University of
Arizona and lately a senior cataloguer at
the University, is now giving her whole
time to instruction in cataloguing and
classification and Miss Evelyn Steel, li-
brarian of the Oakland Technical High
School, has taken over the work in selec-
tion of fiction and current literature.
Those who were at the California Li-
brary Association meeting at Del Monte
in 1917 will remember the unusual lit-
erary quality of her review of The Spoon
River Anthology.
To correct an impression which has
been brought to our notice several times,
we draw attention to the fact that though,
for University reasons, this is not called
a library school, we are giving the
equivalent in scope and content of a one
year library school. Our courses are only
open to professional students who must
take and complete them all to be recom-
mended for positions. In place of being
arranged as a number of short courses
on many different subjects, such as shelf'
listing, binding, et cetera, the work is
grouped in four large courses of related
topics, each one running throughout the
year. Twelve hours of instruction are
given each week besides preparation,
problems and practice work.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
There have been a number of changes
in the staff during the quarter. Miss
Mary Harris, head of the Branch De-
partment, has been given a year's leave
of absence and is taking work in the
library school at Western Reserve Uni-
versity. Miss Virginia Hamner has also
been granted a leave of absence and is
-studying in San Francisco. .Miss Mar-
guerite Chatfield resigned to take R posi-
tion in the Sacramento City Library.
Miss Cornelia Richert has entered college
and Miss Josephine Roehmer has been
appointed to her position. Misses Mina
Keller, Helen Sterrett, Anna Kennedy
and Helen Downs were added to the
staff in July. We now have two full
time pages in the Fresno City Branch,
Agnes Pearson and Martha Zimmerman.
The summer branches located in the
mountains at Sierra Chautauqua and
Huntington Lake have been closed for the
winter, after a most successful two
months. These branches serve the sum-
mer population at these two large resorts
and are very much appreciated. A great
many people took advantage of the vaca-
tion privileges and took collections of
books with them to the out-of-way places
where there are no branches.
We have received a very interesting-
letter from Miss Constance Bentson, our
Vol. 16, 110. 4] CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES ANNUAL STATISTICS,, ETC.

FRESNO CO.— Continued,
former custodian at the Oleander Branch,
written from her old home in Denmark.
Miss Bentson had visited Jacob Rris'
home and had been entertained by his
relatives who are now living there. They
were very happy to hear that Riis was
so much admired in America and quite
excited when she told them how much his
books were read, away in California.
Miss Bentson had been invited to visit
some of the Danish libraries and promised
to let us know how they were conducted,
etc.
Branches were established at Dos Palos,
Miller and Squaw Valley during "the
quarter.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
Since June 1, this library has been
moved from its old location in one of the
temporary . frame buildings into perma-
nent quarters in a beautiful new room
of its own, the library constituting the
south wing of our quadrangle. It is a
large room, with mezzanine floor on the
south, over the office and workroom. The
interior finish is very artistic, the wood-
work being of blue-gum, wax-filled, and
the walls of neutral green-grey tone. Pic-
tures of historic and literary interest
add a note of bright color to the whole.
Mrs Virginia Cleaver Bacon, librarian
for five years, resigned in the spring to
accept a position in Washington, D. C.
but later accepted the position of librar-
ian of Park College, Parkville, Missouri.
Miss Grace Reely came to the school
as librarian, taking up her new duties
at the summer session but personal mat-
ters forced her to give up the work at
the end of that time, and she has since
returned to a position formerly held,
that of librarian of the high school at
Boise, Idaho. The present librarian bei
gan work at the opening of the fall term,
coming here from Lewis ton, Idaho, where
she was assistant librarian in the State
Normal School.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
Very successful service has been given
through the Big Pine Branch to the Lake
Camp of the Los Augeles Aqueduct. The
camp was to be too temporary to make
the establishment of a branch there prac-
ticable, but by sending the books through
the branch, they have had book service
which they greatly appreciate.
The Owenyo School District, formed
last spring, joined the County Library
Sept. 12. Ryan Branch has resumed
work with the same custodian as last year,
Lionel Malley.
Cartago Branch has become active once

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
During the summer vacation, the li-
brary of the Taft Union High School was
enlarged to more than twice its original
dimensions. Several hundred new books
have been purchased, and new metal shelv-
ing is being installed to accommodate them.
The librarian has no classes this year ; so
is in charge of the library and of the
textbooks the entire day, with a part time
assistant to aid her.
A new and adequate storeroom has been
built for the textbooks, and a new system
has been devised for charging them to the
students.

The plan for vacation reading was
varied somewhat this summer with satis-
factory results. About six hundred chil-
dren accepted the printed invitations dis-
tributed at the school and read some of
the books on their lists. Nearly two hun-
dred children read the required number
and have received certificates. The vaca-
tion reading plan has been the excuse for
two visits, one at the close of school and
one this fall, to every class room in the
city and the library has been well adver-
tised among the children, not to mention
the improvement in the class of books cir-
culated which has been, a result of the
plan.
Miss Katherine Rogers, who took the
junior attendant training in the Los
Angeles Public Library and has had a
year's experience there, has been added
to the staff as junior attendant.
The annual report of the library shows
an increase of thirty-seven per cent in
circulation in the past year and a total
increase of ninety per cent in three years.
The appropriation allowed by the city
commission for the present fiscal year is
$15,337, an amount somewhat in excess
of the sum asked for.
Mrs Brewitt has resigned her position
as librarian to accept the position of
assistant librarian in the Long Beach
Public Library. Her successor has not
yet been appointed.

So far as we know, the Bonita Union
High School is the only school in the
state which has a separate library build-
ing. This building, which is now in proc-
ess of construction, is one of a plant of
six buildings for which the three districts
supporting the High School recently
voted bonds of a quarter of a million. It
will be about 20 by 50 feet and will con-
tain a large reference room and two
smaller work rooms. It is located across
the arcade from the academic building and
will be most attractive in every way. The
uew principal, Mr Wm. T. Randall, is
very much interested in the High School
Library and through his efforts, Miss
Abbie H. Doughty, a trained librarian,
has been placed in charge. Miss Doughty
is to spend the greater part of her time
in organizing and developing the work of
the library.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
Earnest consideration is being given
to the selection of a site and the method
of choosing an architect, for the new
library building for which bonds were
voted.
Los Angeles Public Library School.
This year the Los Angeles Library
School offers three special courses in
addition to the fundamental course which
prepares for any type of library work.
These elective courses open to students
and persons already in library work are
advanced cataloging and bibliographical
research, story-telling and administration
of children's rooms, and high school li-
braries.
Philip S. Goulding, chief cataloger in
the Huntington library, will have charge
of the advanced cataloging, which will be
concerned chiefly with the identification
of editions of early printed books and the
cataloging of rare books. Alice A. Blan-
chard will direct the course for children's
librarians and Mrs A. O. Hunnewell, in-
structor in the University of California,
Southern Branch, will teach story-telling.
The school opened September 26, with
a class of 24, seven of whom came from
the middle west and New England, the
others from California. Thirteen are col-
lege graduates, and the others all have
two years of college or library experience.
All the students have had at least two
weeks preliminary library practice, and
14 have had from one to seven years
experience in camp, special or public
libraries.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
The Society, Sons of the Revolution
in the State of California during the past
quarter has added several hundred vol-
umes to its library, including genealogy,
history, biography and records of the
World's War.
A great deal of publicity has been
given the work of the Society and espec-
ially its reference library, the Repository
of the Southwest, resulting in a very
noticeable increase in attendance at the
rooms, as well as letters of inquiry from
many of the Southern and New England
md intervening states, for information
about the Revolutionary war, that one
would expect to be more easily found in
their respective states in many instances.
This is very complimentary to both the
•ecords this library has and to the pub-
licity it has received all over the country.
The membership has grown so much
caster this year than ever before that we
aave already more than 100 additional
members on our rolls since January 1,
beating all former records for new mem-
bers. The second visitors register for this
Society since using one, has been placed
>n the table for all users of the library
lot members of the Society.
The manuscript and historical files of
he Society continue to grow rapidly,
there being now in use seven four-drawer
files, and others soon to be obtained. These
iles are very comprehensive and by a
•ecent visiting second-hand book dealer,
considered among the finest of their kind
le had ever seen, and by him appraised
it a pleasingly high figure financially.

Our library here has just been started
and consequently is very small at present.
We are receiving books frequently and
have a good many orders placed.
The library is of a purely technical and
scientific nature bearing chiefly on the
subject of fisheries and allied topics. We
have most of the foreign publications on
these subjects and are adding to our list
constantly.

This summer most of our concerts have
been given by persons not members of
the library staff. They have brought their
own records, and have often given
illuminating little explanations of the
music. It need not be said that this com-
munity helpfulness makes the concerts
better appreciated and more valuable.
For July 14 a French concert was given,
and all French persons of the valley were
given special invitations. A social time
with light refreshments followed the
concert.

The Madera Union High School Library
has introduced two innovations this term.
The first is hourly service for reference
books, magazines and fiction which has
been assigned for review work. This is
secured by a system of request slips filled
out by the pupil and kept on file till the
book or magazine is returned at the end of
the hour. It has resulted in giving each
pupil an equal chance to use all the
magazines and where a reference book is
in demand by an entire class, keeps that
book in the hands of some different
student each hour. However, reference
books can be drawn for overnight work.
In connection with the issuance of fiction
for book review work it enables the pupil
to first peruse a book and determine its
general character before actually begin-
ning work upon it. The pupils are ghow-

ing an appreciative co-operation which
grows with the realization day by day that
the book which they need will be waiting
for them just the hour they need it.
The other feature is so untried that
only the idea can be given. Extension of
regular library service to the parents of
those pupils who live in the country and
attend by bus is now under consideration.
The intention is to make loans to such
parents under regular library rules but
through request filed by their children,
this service to be in connection with the
county free library. It is hoped in this
way to reach a number of people who
can not at present secure regular library
service.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
The San Quentin Prison Library is
composed of about eleven thousand eight
hundred donated volumes. These books
have a daily circulation of about two
hundred. The books are delivered to the
cells every day, and through so much
handling soon have to be repaired. We
have a book bindery and print shop, and
manage to keep the books in fair shape.
The magazine section carries nearly all
of the popular magazines, but the number
of copies has been very limited. Arrange-
ments with some of the news companies
of San Francisco to send us their turn-
backs, at the end of each month, has
recently been effected. After receiving
them our magazine section can supply
most all wants.
Magazine circulation is increasing each
month, and the reason we find to be the
lack of new books in our fiction depart-
ment. For the last few months the
magazine circulation has been between
four and five thousand copies a month.
As this library is completely made up
of donated books, we request other
librarians to remember us when they are
making discards. All shipments should
be sent in care of the undersigned.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
In August the Library was closed for
interior painting and general renovating.
During this time the Librarian took her
vacation. Miss Ester White, a High
School student, has been appointed
Assistant. It has been gratifying to
watch the steady increase in circulation.
During September the attendance was
2305 and the books issued 1547. The
Juvenile department has also increased,
showing the children are reading. The
books loaned to them amounted to 281.
Since this is a small library the figures
are very encouraging.
Messrs Dewey and Davis have donated
10 well illustrated volumes on the late
war. It is a most concise and well writ-
ten history. Many magazines have been
donated to be forwarded to the men work-
ing at the Dam; these have proved an
invaluable help to the men.

NAPA CO.— Continued.
Napa — Continued.
gotten together a collection of books for
the use of the Napa Study Club which
begins its season with the study of Bel-
gium, the subject for the year.
Our assistant, Miss Boke, has recently
been able to do some library visiting,
calling on the libraries in San Rafael,
San Anselmo, Sausalito and Oakland.
She has brought us some interesting and
helpful suggestions. • .
We are now receiving a deposit of
books from the County Library in ex-
change for service given to out-of-town
patrons. This seemed a better solution
of our problem than the dropping of
those who have so long regarded Goodman
as their home library.
The item concerning Miss Chiles in the
July issue of News Notes of California
Libraries was an error on the part of the
Register.

Luncheon in honor of County Librarian.
"Once upon a time, a long time ago,"
some seven and one-half years to be
exact, it occurred to a little woman in
Orange County that this spot of wonders
was lacking one thing which nearly all
the counties of California were enjoying
and which Orange County might have
for the asking if it so desired. She, with
others like-minded, set about to get sig-
ORANGE CO. — Continued,
natures to a petition asking for the estab-
lishment of a county free library ; but
their many hours of labor were not
rewarded with success at that time. How-
ever, the seed was sown and nearly four
years later began to grow in the minds
of the members of the Fourth District
(Orange County) California Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations.
These women, after a careful investiga-
tion of the kinds of county library service,
decided in favor of the plan under Sec-
tion 2 of California County Free Library
Law, appointed a County Library Com-
mittee with Mrs Charles Harvey of Brea,
chairman, and began an educational cam-
paign in their associations throughout the
county. Over a year later they with
other organizations petitioned the board
of supervisors to establish the County
Free Library, which was done December
9, 1919. It was not until July 5, 1921,
that a librarian was appointed and the
library put into operation September 15.
It was with great rejoicing that we wel-
comed our librarian to Orange County
and made this the occasion of a luncheon
in her honor, October 4, at St. Ann's
Inn, Santa Ana.
Invitations were extended to all Orange
County friends of the library and to a
number outside of our county who had
been interested in the efforts put forth
for the success of the library. As the
guests entered the foyer of the hotel a
card, with a miniature library engraved
in the corner and with name of guest,
was pinned to each so that during the.
reception hour our new librarian became
acquainted with many from all parts of
the county where her work would soon
begin.
The tables were gay with stately zin-
'lias, asters and cosmos ; covers were laid
for one hundred twenty guests, includ-
ing Miss Margaret E. Livingston, the
<?uest of honor, Mrs May Dexter
Henshall, state organizer of county libra-
ries ; Miss Celia Gleason, County Libra-
rian of Los Angeles County and her
assistant, Miss Helen Vogleson ; Miss
Mary Bean of the Library Bureau of
Los Angeles and nearly every librarian
in Orange County.

ORANGE CO. — Continued.
At the end of the four course luncheon
Mrs Earl L. Morris, president of the
Fourth District C. C. of M. and P. T. A.,
presided as toastmistress and announced
as the theme of the toasts, "The Growth
of the Library in Orange County." This
was compared to the child in its develop-
ment which passes through culture epochs,
recapitulating the development of the
race. So the library in Orange County
had passed through its culture epochs,
recapitulating the development of the
library of the past ages.
The first stage of this development of
the library of the past was the Clay
Tablet Period ; the time when records of
the nations were written on tablets of
clay, known to our civilization only by
means of recent excavations that have
unearthed libraries of many tablets, care-
fully tabulated and catalogued. So the
library in Orange County had its Clay
Tablet Period. This toast was responded
to by Mrs R. W. Jones of El Modena,
who was introduced as one who had been
interested in the library from its earliest
childhood. Mrs Jones very happily re^
ferred to the early efforts made, over
seven years ago, for the establishment of
a library in Orange County and how
these efforts had been buried in the past,
but by excavations certain documents had
been unearthed showing that the desires
for a library at this Clay Tablet Period
were many and sincere.
The second stage of development of the
library of the past was the Manuscript
Period, the time when the history of the
nations was written on manuscripts of
parchment and papyrus, decorated with
great care and skill in many colors and
designs by professional copyists. So the
library in Orange County had its Manu-
script Period and Mrs G. H. Goodale,
past president of the Fourth District, was
introduced as one of the chief scribes.
She responded to this toast in a most
clever manner, unrolling and rolling a
large manuscript as she read the records
of the work the P. T. A. did during its
four years of effort to get the Orange
County library established and in opera-
tion.
The third stage of development of the
library of the past was the period of the
ORANGE CO. — Continued.
Printed Book, or the adolescent stage of
the library, because so many varied
phases of library service have been tried
since printing has come into use. As
there are specialists in the study of adol-
escence so this toast was responded to by
a specialist in the library service, Mrs
May Dexter Henshall, state organizer of
county libraries, who told of the growth
of the many kinds of libraries since the
invention of printing.
The fourth stage of the development of
the library was the Adult Period. The
child does not always remain a child ; it
grows and develops into the mature adult
and so the library in Orange County had
reached its maturity, which, was wel-
comed as the Orange County Free Li-
brary, Section 2 California Library Law.
Miss Margaret E. Livingston, the new
county librarian, who responded to this
toast, was introduced as one who typifies
all that is fine in the mature adult be-
cause of her training, experience, wisdom
and personal charm, and, as evidence of
the confidence which the Fourth District
P. T. A. has in her ability, the toast-
mistress at this point presented her with
a bouquet of lovely carnations and then
introduced her as "Our new and first
County Librarian of Orange County."
Miss Livingston very ingeniously com-
pared the county library in operation to
book production today. Author, the
people who saw the need and worked to
secure the library ; publisher, board of
supervisors who weigh merits of manu-
scripts and provide financial backing ;
printing and advertising-, headquarters
office, the mechanical preparation and dis-
tributing point ; dealer and retail store,
the branches giving direct contact with
the reading public. She spoke of the
honor to be chosen to have a part in this
work, but the greatest honor for the new
county library and librarian is in the
future, yet to be earned, the honor of
justification by accomplishment.
The fifth stage of development was the
Period of Work and Activity. When the
adult enters upon the period of activity
it needs co-operation, aid and advice of
partners in the work. Orange County
District Attorney, Mr A. P. Nelson, was
introduced as the chief legal adviser and
604
NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Oct., 1921
ORANGE CO. — Continued,
spoke on "Co-operation with the county-
free library from the business stand-
point," giving assurance that the new
county library would receive all the finan-
cial aid it would need in so far as was
consistent with the other needs of the
county.
Thus, after the growth of the library in
Orange County was traced through its
culture epochs, epitomizing the develop-
ment of the past (1) The Clay Tablet
Period; (2) The Manuscript; (3) The
Printed Book; (4) The Adult Period,
culminating in the Orange County Free
Library under Section 2; and (5) Period
of Work and Activity, the toastmistress
said, if it were not for one thing, she
would wish the county library might re-
main with us until a Ripe Old Age — ■
but this could not be since the county
library never grows old, decrepit or use-
less, because it has within itself the
fountain of perpetual youth, therefore,
she predicted for the new County Free
Library many years of happy, successful
service to the people of Orange County.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
During the summer time each of the
three librarians enjoyed a month's vaca-
tion leave, and while they were absent
Miss Carrie Sheppard and Miss Hazel
Schultz assisted in the library. Miss
Schultz left October 1 to attend the Li-
brary Service School at Riverside.
A raise in salary amounting to approxi-
mately 12 per cent of the previous salary
was given to each of the librarians at the
beginning of the library year.
The librarian has been asked to give
a series of book talks at the monthly
meetings of the Ebell Club throughout
the club year.
Miss Anna McDermont, who had been

Fu I lerto n — Continued,
a member of the Board of Library Trus-
tees since 1907, passed away at her home
here July 14. She had been actively in-
terested in library advancement since the
time when Fullerton first began to feel
the need of a library. She was largely
instrumental in establishing the first
little reading room in 1905, and later,
in securing the funds for the Carnegie
building. Before the building was com-
pleted she was appointed to serve as a
trustee and had been a most faithful and
valuable member from that time to the
time of her death. She attended many
of the state and district meetings and
counted among her friends many of the
librarians of the state.

For the last two years, a branch library
for the use of the Junior College students
has been placed in their study hall in the
Junior College building. Miss Fridd, a
1919 graduate, and a graduate since of
University of Southern California, is in
charge. Next year, the new library will
be large enough to accommodate both the
Junior College and High School students,
thus doing away with the two libraries.
Plans for the new library, size fifty feet
by one hundred feet, have been completed
and building operations will be begun in
December.
Miss Annice Healton, a former employee,
has entered upon her new duties in the
Pomona Public library. Miss Bate, the
librarian, attended the funeral of Mr J.
F. Daniels, in Riverside September 19.
Instruction in the use of the library is
being given to the Freshman and Sopho-
more English classes this fall.

Since Placer county has no county free
library, the county libraries of the coun-
ties cooperating in the upkeep of the
sanatorium will send in books and mag-
azines. Plumas is one of these counties.
The tax rate for 1921-22 is .1 m. on the
dollar, which will raise about $1526.23.
There was a large balance on hand July 1,
1921, which will augment this sum.

QUARTEELY NEWS ITEMS.
In many respects, the past quarter has
been the busiest one in the history of our
library. Circulation has increased thirty-
one per cent over that of the same period
last year. Twenty per cent of this circu-
lation was non-fiction. While no count
was kept of the persons reading in the
library, that number has also increased.
Electric fans were installed this sum-
mer, with much comfort to patrons and
librarian.
Heretofore books borrowed from the
Riverside Library have been shelved with
our own, but now separate shelves are
reserved for them, thus showing at a
glance the new ones added from time to
time.
With the coming of cooler days the
popularity of the tennis court in connec-
tion with the library has increased, and
some of our business men, as well as
young people, are finding relaxation in an
hour's enjoyment of the game.
A story hour is held once a week. We
have been fortunate in being able to
secure among our club women some very
able story-tellers. These women are
versed in the art of story telling and we
feel that many children are being guided
along the lines of right thinking and
conduct. Peabl V. Kohlee, Lib'n.

The parade held August 19, during the
San Diego Midsummer Carnival, gave the
library an opportunity to do some effec-
tive advertising. Upon a decorated city
truck, driven by a dashing pirate,
appeared several of the best known char-
acters of fiction, their identity being sug-
gested to the public either by their unmis-
takable costumes, or by huge books, bear-
ing their titles, and carried by the char-
acters. Robinson Crusoe, in a marvelous
get-up of gunny sacks and skins, was
greeted gleefully all the way, with many
solicitous inquiries for "Friday" ; Mother
Goose, leading Pinocchio by the hand,
pleased the children, as did also Little
Bo-Peep, Little Red Riding Hood and the
beautiful Fairy Princess ; Ramona, with
her black braids and red shawl, was as
demure and lovely as Helen Hunt Jack^
son could have wished ; and the veiled
Scheherazade, of Arabian Nights fame,
was georgeous in spangles and fine purple.
The occasion was one long to be remem-
bered, both for its work and its fun.
For the first time, the public library
had an exhibit at the annual county
fair, held from September 21 to 24, in
one of the former exposition buildings at
Balboa Park. A booth was attractively
decorated by a committee of the library
staff, a frieze of book jackets being strung
around the wall, and many flowers and
greens used. Among the exhibits which
attracted special interest were the five
most used books in the library ; the best
sellers of twenty years ago and of today ;
children's books ; scrap-books for house-

hold arts and interior decoration ; popu-
lar documents ; stereoscope views. Appll
cation cards were offered to visitors.
A long-deferred hope has at last been
realized, in the opening of the new Mis-
sion Hills Branch October 1. In the new
addition to the Grant School a large and
attractive room has been equipped by the
school board for the use of this branch
library, in which a collection of books
has been installed, with Miss Cecil Ber-
nardis, formerly librarian of the Ocean
Beach Branch, in charge. Service is
given daily from 2 to 5.30 and on Mon-
day and Friday evenings from 6.30 to
8 o'clock. This new branch is the first
step in pursuance of a plan of Mayor
Bacon and Mr Johnson, Superintendent
of Schools, who hope to make every school
a community center, with the playground
and the branch library as part of the
school equipment, and all resources of
the building open to adults, as well as to
the children.
With great regret, the Marston Branch
of the Public Library was closed August
1. This branch has been conducted for
the last four years in the Marston Store,
the generosity of Mr Marston having
given the use of an attractive room on
the fourth floor, where many shoppers
and tourists have found it a great con-
venience. But the nearness of this branch
to the main library, and the great need
for service in other portions of the city,
made it seem necessary to close it, upon
the opening of the new branch in Mission
Hills.
By public subscription and a generous
gift from Miss Ellen B. Scripps, the La
Jolla Library Association has recently
erected a beautiful building at the north-
west corner of Girard and Wall streets.
It is in Spanish renaissance style, with
an outdoor reading garden and a picture
gallery, as well as beautifully equipped
children's, reference and circulation de-
partments. The building was designed
by W. Templeton Johnson, a San Diego
architect, and cost $37,000. Miss Irene
Eckis, formerly on the staff of the San
Diego Public Library, is the librarian in
charge. This library, while independently

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
In accordance with a recent act of the
State Legislature the San Diego State
Normal School has assumed the name
and status of a State Teachers College
and has also taken over the San Diego
Junior College which is being conducted
in connection with the Teachers College,
all under the jurisdiction of the State
Department of Education. This about
doubles the number of students using the
library, and during several periods daily
there is a large excess of students over
the seating capacity, although additional
seats have been supplied. An additional
reference table has been ordered ; this
will relieve the congestion in the center
of the room and yet not detract from the
attractiveness and homelike feeling of a
one-room library.
About seven hundred new books have
already been added to the shelves, includ-
ing dictionary-encyclopaedias and texts
in French and Spanish, the standard
English requirements, and recent publica-
tions in science and history, with others
to follow.
The training school library is the recip-
ient of two greatly prized picture books,
one of dogs and one of wild animals, each

societies making the Sutro Branch their
library headquarters 13,900.
Perhaps the most important additions
to the collections during the year are the
Adolph Sutro letters and written docu-
ments covering the years 1853 to 1879,
deposited by his daughter, Dr Emma L.
Merritt, and the 178 volumes of Sutro
Library newspapers which were bound at
the State Library and returned to the
Sutro Branch. It is not known yet
just what the letters and written docu-
ments cover but they appear to be con-
nected with all of Mr Sutro's many civic
activities.
The files of newspapers are needed
constantly for reference and as they are
very limited on this side of the Bay since
the fii*e of 1906, these volumes added to
the Sutro Library are most welcome and
are used constantly.
The late Mrs E. M. North-Whitcomb
was a very active figure in San Francisco
and in California activities, and had
accumulated quite a little historical mate-
rial. All that was important from the
state point of view had been given to the
State Library before her death. Her
daughter, Mrs J. J. McDonald, turned
over all the rest to the Sutro Branch to
place in the library system wherever it
seemed best. It has added many missing-
numbers of the publications of local
organizations and when listed and shelved
will without doubt prove to be a very
valuable gift to the state and city
resources.
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific
and the California Genealogical Society
both held their annual meetings in the
Sutro Branch quarters.
QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
During the quarter, 178 additional
volumes of Sutro Library newspapers

A large "germ of knowledge," wrapped
about by the following spiral quotation,
caught the eye of far more people than did
any other object in the library booth at
the recent San Joaquin County Fair : "I
am a germ of knowledge. From me cometh
much understanding. As a rule, I am
found in almost any book, but for this
occasion I have come out, as I may never
have a better chance to introduce my-
self." Even the least observant of
passers-by felt compelled to crook theii
necks and otherwise alter their postures
in order to read what the little bug had
to say. Moral : For publicity purposes,
add a bug to your staff.

To aid and abet the propaganda of

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
Since the time when our friends came
to our rescue after the fire that almost
completely destroyed our plant, our li-
brary has not made such strides as it did
during the last quarter. Accessions- have
been 769 besides many pamphlets. These
last have been made more available for
the student also, much to the help of our
debaters and research workers. Improve-
ments have been made in the office and
shelving capacity much increased in
the reading room. We have added a
"reading-pen" for those doing collateral
reading, giving students free access to
the books for that purpose. The maga-
zine list now reaches sixty-three.

QUABTEELY NEWS ITEMS.
Miss Nellie Cowan and Miss Nora
Wheeler, assistants, were enrolled in the
library course at the University of Cali-
fornia summer session. Miss Wheeler
returned to the library, expressing hei'seli
as having- spent her time both pleasurably
and profitably. Miss Cowan, however,
resigned to accept a position in the Sac-
ramento Public Library. Miss Emma
Revell was appointed to succeed her.
Since Miss Revell refused a permanent
appointment, Miss Gertrude McLaughlin,
formerly of Kings County, has in her
place become a member of the staff.
Miss Marion Morse, the librarian, on
September first resigned to become County
Librarian of the Island of Maui in Ha-
waii. Thelma Brackett was appointed to
succeed her. Miss Morse writes of her
unusual problems in the Islands, the most

knotty, perhaps, being the necessity to
re-model a seven-room cottage into a
library with quarters for the librarian.
Mr Gustafsson, custodian of the Mac-
doel Branch, tendered his resignation
from the work. Macdoel Branch was
accordingly consolidated with the school
branch, with Miss Johnson in charge.
On September 14 Mr Kleaver, county
superintendent of schools, his wife and
the librarian made a trip through the
southwestern part of the county. Foui
schools and two community branches were
visited. Perfect weather, clever mules,
and a beautiful country combined to make
the business trip a three-days' holiday.
Map cases recently sent in from one
of the schools proved unsatisfactory to
operate. On investigation, they were
found to be filled with wasps' nests. For-
tunately for the staff, the houses were
unoccupied.
Miss Agnes Bryant, the newly ap-
pointed county nurse, is planning to take
many trips with the librarian. Co-
operation between the two promises to be
complete. At the County Fair, Septem-
ber 27 to October 1, the Red Cross and
the County Library had adjoining space.
An attractively decorated balcony, com-
fortably fitted up as a rest room, proved
very popular. The exhibit of blind
material, consisting of books in various
types, games and writing apparatus for
the blind, all from the State Library,
attracted considerable attention.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
The newly appointed Rural Music
Supervisor of Solano County and the
County Librarian have outlined a course
in cooperation, which is correlating the
work of each department to a most satis-
factory degree. Following are some of
the points that can be jointly operated
with success in this county.
1. The Solano County Free Library
furnishes all of the material that the
Music Supervisor needs for her own use,
as well as that used by the different
schools.
2. The library buys records suggested
by the Music Supervisor for the schools
and the Farm Bureau meetings.
3. Visits are made by the librarian to
the schools with the Music Supervisor.
Then follows the lesson in music, after
which the librarian takes about ten
minutes to tell of the (a) work and
service of a library, (b) the method of
working out the reading as suggested in
the county manual for grammar school
library certificates, (c) tells a fairy tale,
(d) talks on children's reading. The
Supervisor and the librarian often stay
long enough to get acquainted with the
children, teaching them a folk dance,
accompanied by the phonograph record.
4. The Music Supervisor takes all
packages to schools on her route for the
day, as her schedule is known at the
VOl. 16, HO. 4] CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES — ANNUAL STATISTICS, ETC.

library, and it is followed closely by the
library.
5. The Music Supervisor attends many
of the Farm Bureau meetings, leading
the community singing. The librarian
attends too if possible, helping with the
singing, or taking part on the program.
During the quarter a branch was estab-
lished in the Ryer Island school district.

QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
Central and Gaither School Districts
have consolidated and are now known as
Central-Gaither Union School with Mrs
Harriet Edwards as custodian. Rome
School has commenced work again with
Mrs Sidona Baughan as custodian.
Sutter School did not open this year so
we have no branch there. We have
appointed Mr Clarence Ashford custodian
of the Tudor Branch in place of Mrs
F. H. Heiken who has moved away.
Edna J. Hewitt, Lib'n.
The Weimar Joint Sanatorium in
Placer county is to receive library service.
Since Placer county has no county free
library, the county libraries of the coun-
ties cooperating in the upkeep of the
sanatorium will send in books and maga-
zines. Sutter is one of these counties.
The tax rate for 1921-22 is .4 m. on
the dollar, which will raise about $7000.

Miss Julia Steffa resigned as librarian
here to be acting librarian of Madera
County. Everyone regretted Miss Steffa's
resignation, especially as it came at the
time when the new building she had done
such good work on was just completed.
A public reception was given Miss Steffa
it which she was presented with a trav-
eling bag in appreciation from the people
of the county. Miss Steffa's resignation
took place September 15. Miss Elizabeth
Topping was appointed in her place Sep-
tember 16.
The new building in which are installed
both the Ventura County Free Library
and the Ventura City Library is com-
pleted, and both libraries are established
in it in full running order. An interest-
ing feature is the outside reading room
in which there is a fountain.
The teacher, Mrs Murphy, and the
pupils of the Arnaz School visited the
county library September 23.

NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [Oct., 1921
DIRECTORY FOR LIBRARY SUPPLIES AND OTHER ITEMS
OF GENERAL INTEREST.
Many public libraries waste a great
deal of time and money before tbey find
good places to get supplies. The plan is
to give all libraries the benefit of the
experience of the older libraries of the
State by listing under different heads the
houses that have been found to give sat-
isfaction, the names and addresses being
furnished by the older and larger libraries
of California. In this way suggestions
will be given as to where different sorts
of books may be bought, where books may
be rebound or periodicals bound, where
library furniture may be bought, etc.,
both in California and in the East.
If any information is needed about the
firms listed below which can not be ob-
tained fi'om the firms themselves, the
names of the libraries recommending the
different ones will be sent to any library
upon application to the State Library.

ORDER AND ACCESSIONS
DEPARTMENT.
Myrtle Ruhl, in charge.
During July, August and September
1505 books and 211 prints were acces-
sioned.
A collection of twenty-five colored
wood-block prints by Helen Hyde was
donated to the Library by her sisters,
Mrs Mabel Hyde Gillette and Mrs Hallie
Hyde Irwin.
We now have ninety-five of Helen
Hyde's prints, very nearly a complete
collection of the work of this artist, who
was a native Californian and the first
print maker on the Pacific Coast to attain
national prominence.
CATALOG DEPARTMENT.
Ida G. Mux son, in charge.
During July, August and September
760 books were cataloged and 6046 cards
were added to the file.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT.
Eudora Garoutte, in charge.
The California Department aims to
have a thoroughly good collection of books
on the history and description, resources
and industries of the State, as well as the
works of California authors in all de-
partments of literature. These are made
accessible by means of a card catalog.
Full names and biographical sketches of
California authors, artists, musicians,
pioneers and early settlers are being
secured, together with their photographs.
The collection of bound periodicals is
quite large. _ The Department also con-
tains about 7000 bound volumes of news-
papers, a file of which is being indexed
with reference to the history of the State.
Students will be assisted in their work.
Pioneers and Early Settlers.
Jacob Frederick Haehnlen, a pioneer of
1846, arrived in a sailing vessel, making
the trip around the Horn. Mr Haehnlen
became a journalist, having founded the
first German newspaper in San Fran-
cisco. He was also a member of the
Vigilance Committee of 1856. Mr Haehn-
len returned to Philadelphia where he
died May 14, 1874.
Robert Chalmers, a native of Scotland,
made the overland journey to California
in 1S50. He settled at Coloma, where
gold was discovered, and was a resident
of this historical mining town until the
time of his death, 1881. Mr Chalmers
was a man of much ability and served as
County Treasurer, Tax Collector and as
a member of the Legislature.
The following cards of those arriving
in 1S52 have also been received and
placed on file : Mr and Mrs Dudley Bass,
Robert Hall Buckingham, Lewis Albright
Haehnlen, Peter Johnston.
Of unusual interest is the card filled
out by Edward Everett Ayer who came
to San Francisco as a boy and enlisted in
the First California Cavalry in 1861,
serving until near the close of the Civil
War. Although Mr Ayer lived in Cali-
fornia but a few years he has always
retained his interest in the state, visiting
it many times, and taking an active part
in its welfare. He is at the present time
much interested in the preservation of
the Redwoods, being one of the governors
of the League organized to save these
wonderful trees from destruction. Mr
Ayer has given valuable collections to the
Field Museum, Chicago Art Institute, and
Newberry Library. To the latter he gave
his collection of fifty thousand volumes
on the North American Indian, valued at
one and a half million dollars. In speak-
ing of these gifts Mr Ayer says, "I have
received in enjoyment and happiness
twenty times as much from each as I
have given."

Edward Everett Ayer are of unusual
interest. Mr Ayer also sent as a gift a
photostat copy of the original diary of
Junipero Serra. This diary is in the
Ayer collection. "Personal History and
Reminiscences" by Henry Root is a valu-
able contribution to California history.
♦Native Californians.
Mr L. E. Behymer, who is much inter-
ested in our work of preserving the
musical history of the State, has sent to
the department a complete set of the
Philharmonic Orchestra programs for the
season 1920-21. These programs came
beautifully bound and are a most valuable
addition to the collection. Cora W.
Jenkins has added a large number of
musical compositions.
We greatly appreciate the generous
assistance of our musician friends.
A number of early pictures of San
Francisco and Sacramento have been
received, also a framed group picture of
the "Associated Pioneers of the Terri-
torial Days of California," and a picture
of Salvador Vallejo, with more pictures
of this honored pioneer family to follow.
It is impossible to mention all the gifts
received, but we wish to assure our
friends that their invaluable aid in build-
ing up a State collection is deeply
appreciated.

NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Oct., 1921
Report of Kate M. Foley, Home Teacher
of the Blind. July 1, 1920-June 30,
1921.
I have the honor to present a report
of my work as home teacher of the blind
of San Francisco and the bay region,
beginning July 1, 1920, and ending June
30, 1921.
During the past year, the work has
grown steadily, and has won for itself a
place among the recognized social organ-
izations of the state. I have been asked
to represent the Books for the Blind
Department of the State Library at the
Council of Social and Health Agencies of
San Francisco, and to meet with the
Section on Education to consider Voca-
tional and Special Schools and Agencies.
It is gratifying to note the growing inter-
est in the welfare of the blind, and the
desire on the part of social agencies to
assist in the solution of the many and
serious problems for the advancement of
this handicapped class.
I have made trips to Stockton, Napa,
Yountville and Sacramento, giving lessons
and visiting borrowers. I can not visit
these places very often, but correspond
with the pupils and mail lessons to them.
I go regularly to San Jose and Santa
Clara, and in both places the work has
grown appreciably. In Santa Clara I
have a number of invalids and . elderly
people to whom the reading is a source
of great joy. I am teaching one man
there who has been blind for thirty-five
years. He is past sixty, but is making
splendid progress.
There has been an increase in the
number of pupils in the bay region, and
I continue to give weekly lessons in Oak-
land, Berkeley, Alameda, San Leandro
and San Francisco. I teach in the San
Francisco Relief Home and San Leandro
Infirmary, as well as in the Homes for
Incurables in San Francisco and Oak-
land. The Associated Charities in these
cities ask me to visit the blind of their
districts, and this co-operation is mutually
helpful. I continue to spend one after-
noon each week in the Industrial Home
for Adult Blind, Oakland, and there is
a steady increase in the number of bor-
rowers there. The management appre-
ciates the regular service, and the most
cordial relations exist between the two
institutions.
I have had to spend a great deal of
time in preparing lessons, owing to the
increasing demand for material in Revised
Braille, and to the fact that the Ziegler
Magazine is now printed in this system.
Beginning with March of this year, the
American Braille edition was discon-
tinued, and the State Library home teach-
ers had thirty-five new pupils prepared
to read the new system, and this did not
include a large number who had pre-
viously read American Braille and New
York point, who applied to us for lessons
in Grade One and a Half and Grade Two.
We are justly proud of this record, and
feel that the extra time and effort is well
spent.
The Federal Board for Vocational
Training continues to avail itself of our
services in instructing the blinded soldiers
who are not sent to the Red Cross Insti-
stute for the Blind at Baltimore. In this
connection, we have been consulted with
regard to twenty soldiers, to a number of
whom we are now giving instruction.
We teach them Braille and typewriting,
and advise them along many lines, giving
the help and encouragement that only a
blind teacher can give. Both the Federal
Board and the Bureau of War Risk In-
surance appreciate our effort, and we feel
greatly privileged to be permitted to make
up to the soldiers, though in small
measure, for the great sacrifice they have
made.
I attended the convention of the
American Association of Workers for the
Blind at Vinton, Iowa, this June. I pre-
sented a report on the higher education
of the blind, and took part in two round
table discussions. At this meeting the
American Foundation of the Blind was
organized. This is a very forward step,
and should prove of untold value, since it
includes every phrase of work for the
blind — schools, homes, work-shops and
libraries, and provides for bureaus of re-
search, education, publicity, as well as
employment and placement. I was grati-
fied to find that our State Library Books

that its method of home teaching receives
general commendation.
As shown in the statistical report, the
number of correspondence pupils has in-
creased. In addition to those in this
state to whom it is not possible to give
oral instruction, I teach the blind of
neighboring states including Nevada,
Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho and Arizona. In this way I also
instruct the parents of blind children of
pre-school age, and this is one of the
most important phases of the work.
The Women Volunteers of Oakland,.
California, continue to transcribe articles,
poems and short stories in Revised Braille
for our borrowers, and have contributed
more than a hundred and thirty volumes
to the State Library. The class meets
twice each month in the Oakland Public
Library, and I frequently remonstrate
with the members for bringing in so much
work. They are indefatigable and enthu-
siastic, and declare that the transcribing
has become a real pleasure, and a neces-
sary part of their daily routine. They
continue to copy the weekly budget of
news for our deaf-blind borrowers, and
this is greatly appreciated, especially by
one young man who, in addition to being
deaf-blind, is crippled, and, owing to the
loss of touch, reads the Braille with his
upper lip. We also have a transcriber
in Los Angeles who copies in Grade One
for some of our elderly borrowers who
have not learned to read the contractions.
We have a volunteer in San Francisco
who copies short stories for the library,
and news items for the young man men-
tioned above. To all the transcribers oui
grateful acknowledgement is due, uot only
for their contribution to our literature,
but for the wonderful spirit inspiring the
unique service. Miss Estelle Miller of
Los Angeles still volunteers her services
as proof reader, and to her painstaking
effort is due the high standard of excel-
lence maintained by the transcribers.
I take this opportunity to express my
indebtedness to the City and County Li-
brarians of the state for their constant
and hearty co-operation. This is a fur-
ther demonstration of the wisdom of the
California library plan and its far-
reaching effects. Through this service we
are kept in close touch with the blind of
the state, and are able to help them more
intelligently.
A word of appreciation is due to Mr
Will French of the State Industrial Acci-
dent Commission for calling our attention
to cases of seriously defective eyesight.
Thanks are also due to the Widows
Pension Bureau of San Francisco, the
Social Service Commission of San Mateo
County, and the Associated Charities of
Alameda County for their intelligent
treatment of the blind pensioners, and
for their hearty acquiescence in our plans
for their well being and comfort.
The statistical report shows the scope
of the work and some of its results, but
the real good accomplished can not be
told in words. Its effects may be seen
in hundreds of homes where men and
women, strengthened and encouraged, are
once more assuming their rightful places
in the household, sharing the work and the
responsibility, just as in the days before
blindness came upon them. Their words
of appreciation, and their eager response
stimulate the home teacher to yet greater
efforts, and lead her to seek other and
broader avenues of usefulness for those
who look to her for courage and inspira-
tion.

Report of Catharine J. Morrison, Home
Teacher of the Blind. July 1, 1920-
June 30, 1921.
The year just completed marks another
step forward in home teaching for the
blind. Through this department the State
Library has found many fields of service
besides increasing the circulation of books
among the reading blind.
The primary interest of this branch of
State Library extension work is the
pupils and borrowers, and these have
grown in number, fifty-five having been
added this year. The majority of these
still continue to be elderly people and
live in Los Angeles, but Pasadena.
Pomona, San Diego, Long Beach and
Santa Monica have increased their read-
ers, which means that regular trips have
been made to these places during the
year. The San Diego trips, though at
long intervals, have proved well worth
while, and the pupils are interested and
working. It brings us together, for the
most important event of all is the after-
noon social gathering at the Public Li-
brary where we become acquainted and
find numerous ways in which we can help
each other. Three trips have been made
this year, each of which resulted in new
pupils and stimulated interest. Visits
have continued to the Soldiers' Home,
though with less frequency, and although
there has been no addition in the number
of pupils, the circulation of books has.
remained steady among the six good
readers, and the interest and good will
of the veterans never flags. Their ranks
are slowly thinning by death. The bor-
rowers have increased at the County
Farm and the constant circulation of
books there proves that the irregular trips
made are of real value. One reader there
is a deaf mute and blind, having lost
his sight within the last year, and it is
not hard to understand what the books
mean to him.
The Pomona class has met regularly
once a month through the courtesy of
the Librarian, and in consequence there
are a number of borrowers in and about
Pomona. A service man from the Chaffey
School at Ontario has become a member
of the class. He is studying poultry
raising in the hope that the outdoor life
will benefit his health. Another man,
who lost his sight overseas, is buying a
small ranch near Los Angeles and rais-
ing chickens. He has been in town sev-
eral times for lessons, and there is another
service man in Monrovia who finds the
books a great pleasure. The two men,
who went from California to the Red
Cross Institute at Baltimore, are still
in training and it is gratifying to know
that they are holding the positions re-
spectively of president and vice president,
of the Student Body of the School. The
return of one of them, Mr O'Hara, for
two months during the winter was an
inspiration to us all. His account of the
courses of training given at Evergreen
and of what the men are doing who have
finished and gone out into the world
gave us a new insight into the possibili-
ties of work for the Blind. The blind
service man is making good which proves
that training in various lines of work for
the blind civilian is worth while. The
two visits to the White House this spring
of several of the Evergreen men and their
cordial reception by President and Mrs
Harding is an event of importance and a
most encouraging sign for the future.
Our County Charities have continued
their friendly co-operation, and through
them I have come in touch with several
of my pupils. The Handicraft Depart-
ment in connection with the Outdoor
Relief Division of the Los Angeles County
Charities is still an important factor in
our work, and lessons have continued
there with weekly regularity throughout
the year. The number of pupils has in-
creased which means that there are more
workers. These workers are all Mexicans
so that they are learning to read both
English and Braille. Besides these there
are four other pupils attempting to
master English and Braille. Their appre-
ciation, interest and effort make their
lessons a pleasure, and the reading is
putting something of real worth into
their lives. Two deaf mutes have had
instruction also and although their pro-
gress is necessarily slow they are learn-
ing to read by touch. Several pupils
vol. 16, no. 4]
CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY.
83i
have resumed work in order to learn the
Revised Braille, for the number of books
in this type is increasing and they com-
prise the most up-to-date fiction and gen-
eral literature. A Revised Braille edition
of the Ziegler magazine has taken the
place of the one in American Braille so
that its readers have nearly all learned
this new type.
Two blind men from the Handicraft
Department have gone into the reed fur-
niture business and two others from the
outside have done the same thing. There
are three students at our College of
Osteopathy and I know of three success-
ful osteopaths who are now practicing in
Los Angeles while another will soon enter
the field as a chiropractor. We are glad
to consider this practical side a part of
the work to be reported.
A little work has been done in connec-
tion with the pensions, explaining the
procedure and filing blanks for the appli-
cants, but the work in this county is well
handled by a member of the Outdoor Re-
lief Division.
Our monthly social gathering, which
has just completed its second year, is an
event to which we look forward each
month. The object, which is for social
purposes and mutual benefit, is fulfilling
its purpose, and we have tried to make
the majority of the programs helpful.
Among them have been Mr O'Hara's
account of the work and men at Ever-
green, some encouraging words from a
young blind law student, Mr Frank For-
ester, an account of the work at Pitts-
burg from a blind club woman of that
city, and a practical talk by a blind real
estate man of Los Angeles. In February
the Pasadena pupils took charge of the
program with Mrs Clarence Blood in
charge, and we all took something worth
while away with us after hearing Dr
Freeman of the First Presbyterian
Church. His words of encouragement did
us all good, and as one man said after-
ward, "made you want to do something
worth while." The music which is
usually provided by our members is a
very vital part of it all. We are also
indebted to some outside friends for the
verv good music of some of our enter-
tainments. The reading by Mrs Mc-
Birney. one of our members, of articles
of interest to the welfare of the blind
is an especially important feature.
In June the first graduating exercises
of the Special Class for Blind Children
took place. This day school for the blind
is the only one of its kind west of
Chicago and has been in operation four
and a half years. The three graduates,
two boys and a girl, have completed the
eighth grade, and they were told when
presented with their diplomas that they
were only receiving what they had well
earned. The girl graduate made the
skirt she wore, and one boy is especially
gifted in music while the other has a
very good record in sloyd.
In concluding this report we wish again
to express our gratitude, first to Miss
Celia Gleason, County Librarian, and
her Staff for the continued use of their
rooms for the headquarters of our work
and for their kindly interest and help to
me and my pupils. We also -feel in-
debted to Miss Warren and Miss Smith
of the San Diego Public Library and to
Miss Jacobus and her Staff at Pomona.
The help of these librarians is worth
more than can be estimated in our work.
Miss Benjamin helped to keep Mr Ald-
ritt's memory green at Christmas time,
and several friends contributed to our
Christmas fund. This is one of the best
parts of our work, and Mr Aldritt, who
started it, is being gratefully remembered
by many.
Thanks are especially timely to Mr
I). H. McLaughlin, Superintendent of the
Outdoor Relief Division of our County
Charities and to Mrs Frances Vance,
Head of the Handicraft Department, for
their co-operation and interest in prac-
tical work for the blind. We appreciate
the use of a room at the Normal Hill
Center for our social gatherings for part
of the year.
And last I wish to express my own
appreciation, first to the State Librarian,
Mr Ferguson, and to the State Library
Staff for their consideration and encour-
agement, and to my pupils for their
many expressions of gratitude and
pleasure in the books. It is these things

*Pensions for the Blind Law in
California.
An act to provide a relief fund in the
several counties or any city and county
of the state for the needy blind, provid-
ing for and prescribing the powers and
duties of boards of supervisors in every
county or city and county.
[Approved May 5, 1919. Amendment
approved June 1, 1921.]
The people of the State of California do
enact as follows:
Section 1. The boards of supervisors
of the several counties and cities and
counties in this state are hereby author-
ized and permitted to levy, in addition to

purposes than those herein provided, a
tax not exceeding two-tenths of one mill
per dollar on the assessed value of the
property of their respective counties and
cities and counties to be levied and col-
lected as now provided by law for the
assessment and collection of taxes, for
the purpose of creating a fund for the
relief of the needy blind of their respec-
tive counties and cities and counties.
Sec. 2. A needy blind person shall
be construed to mean any person who,
by reason of .loss of eyesight, is unable
to provide himself with the necessities of
life, and who has not sufficient means of
his own to enable him to maintain him-
self.
Sec. 3. A needy blind person, in order
to receive relief under this act, must be
a resident of this state at the time this
act takes effect, or become blind while
a resident of this state, and shall be a
resident of the county for one year next
preceding the date of the application pro
vided for herein.
*This law is being printed here, since
we have so many requests for it from our
borrowers and others interested.

Sec. 4. All persons claiming relief
under this act shall file, at least ten days
prior to action on said claims, with the
board of supervisors a duly verified state-
ment of the facts bringing him within
the provisions of this act. The list of
claims shall be filed in the order of filing
in a book furnished for that purpose by
the board of supervisors, and which record
shall be open to the public. No certifi-
cate of qualification for drawing money

fied, from the evidence of at least two
reputable residents of said county, or city
and county, one of whom shall be a duly
and regularly licensed and practicing
physician, that they know the applicant
to be blind, and that he has the residen-
tial qualifications to entitle him to the re-
lief asked for, which evidence shall be in

duty of the board of supervisors in each
county and city and county to adopt such
rules, regulations and ordinances neces-
sary to carry into effect the purposes,
aims and objects of this act. It shall be
